Personal background
I'm from Spokane, but I'm living in Seattle right now and I'm going to be moving to California. I've always been fascinated with the thought of extra-terrestrial life and ALWAYS wanted to be able to participate. Now I have two computers and am able to donate one full time an the other at night while I sleep. I hope that SETI continues and I support it whole heartedly. Keep up the good work guys, we believe in you.

Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Of course I believe there's other life, there's too many probabilites for us to be a single occurrence. Organized religions would like us to believe otherwise, but as far as I'm concerned, in my experience those people tend to be extremely preachy and narrow minded. Of course humans should transmit a beacon. How else can we expect other races to find us? Sure we've been transmitting signals into outer space, but nothing really that has been a stable or strong enough signal. What are my views about the project and suggestions? If you can improve the program to make it process faster, that would probably help out, my poor little 200 Mhz dinosaur has taken 186 hours and is only 84% done, my 1.6 Ghz has blasted through 3 data sets already though. Does the program run faster the longer it's run?? It sure seems so.
