Personal background
I'm from Eugene, Oregon and I'm now 31. I'm studying to be a Computer User Support Tech and I just got my first computer in February 2002. I read about this in the New York Times and since I love astronomy and science fiction so much, I just knew this was for me.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I absolutely think that E.T. life exists, the odds of it not existing when you think of the # of stars, galaxies, and planets we are just discovering are not worth thinking about. I have no idea when and how we will discover it or it discovers us! Culture shock is always a worry, but mostly I hope that we all don't have that knee-jerk reaction to destroy things we don't understand.
Haven't we already transmitted beacons? From our radio and TV noise to the Voyager probes, I don't think that if someone were looking, that they could miss us.
First, I run it because even when I'm not doing anything, I'm busy looking for signals. It would be the rush of a lifetime to help in some small way, even if it is just weeding out the nothing signals, to find E.T. Life. I don't know if we will ever find anything(considering all our own noise we are making), but we have to try.
I think I'm to new to it to make suggestions about it, although on the screensaver it would be cool to have a little more understanding of what it is that my computer is doing and how.
