| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I read all the computer news and heard about the Seti project way before the release of the screensaver. I expected it in April of 99 and did not get it till July...LOL....I told all my friends and some of us formed a group of 6, banging out WU's. I have sinced learned about the command line versions and knock off 4 a day in my main machine and have 3 other machines running Seti packs.(Still all true in 2008) I firmly believe with the infinity of space, there has to be intelligent life elsewhere in this universe OR some other universe. Although, with the technological advances we have experienced lately, it may not be radio waves that discover ET. I am pleased that so many people, around the world, would take an interest in the search for life on another planet!
Many thanks to the Seti group for letting us participate.
