| Personal background |
|---|
| I am 15 years old. Got a Commodore 64 computer from a next-door neighbor who was selling it when I was in second grade. I paid $10 for it, my parents put in the extra $25, since they wanted $35 for it. I learned to program BASIC on it within a week. I have about twenty 5 1/4" 360KB floppies with my programs on them. When I was in fourth/fifth grade, I got a brain tumor and went to Children's Medical Center in Dallas. A group called Make A Wish bought me a Dell Inspiron 3000 and a bunch of software to go with it. Eventually I sold it to get an IBM dekstop (bad choice on my part). The IBM was crap. My parents computer (Compaq) broke so they bought my IBM from me. I got a computer with a VIA chip on Outpost. 733MHz that runs fine with no heatsink or fan. I use it for SETI, since it would be a waste to leave it running and doing nothing with its time. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
| Yes. When, I don't know. How, probably by either SETI or some alien coming to blow us up because of a broadcast of the Gulf War that they think is a threat to them. Benefits: learn fast space travel, learn other new stuff; or they come and kill us all. Yes. Send everything. I run it becaues I have a fast computer and it's proccessing power might as well be put to use. Good project overall. Suggestion: Allow accounts to be moved to a new email address. I deleted my old account because of spam, and can't get into the web site on it anymore, cause I don't have the password. I created a new one, but now it says I've completed 0 units. I had completed over 60 units in somewhere around 2000 hours. |
