How did you find out about SETI@home?
A friend told me about 3 years ago and i am now in the top 10 - 15 for New Zealand
And in the top 1700 for the world. I have on and off about 35 PC's running SETI client 24hrs. Also have our company’s 45k duel processor server running a copy of SETI client on each CPU. HAHAHA!!
I started running SETI because it had a cool screen saver that I thought would make my desktop look sophisticated. Then after a while I started making my way up the stats list and then it became a passion. I get many hits to my business site from my SETI stats listing. |

Yes I think ET exists. No proof just a feeling and also the thought of we can’t possibly be alone as it would be a huge waste of our vast universe.
