I'm from Rochester, NY, which is in Upstate NY. I'm 18 and in the US Navy. I go to boot camp late March 2003. I like to play PC and some console video games. Learning something new about people and this planet is a very high interest of mine. I'm very suprised about how many people use this screensaver. I thought it would just be a few people in Universities and such. I saw a story about this on Discovery.com and wanted to help participate in this 'search'. In my honest opinion, I think listening is a good way to search, but it would be more interesting if we sent more 'hubble' telescopes into space to examine with sight. It would certainly be a whole lot cooler for my peers to get involved rather then not give a lick at all. Anyways, goodluck with your searching. By the way, I have no idea what any of the data on my screensaver means. Is there a FAQ, or forums somewhere I can look at involving the SETI@home screensaver?

I do believe other mortal, intelligent life-forms exist. With all the billions of other galaxies, with each galaxy holding a dozen or so systems, with each system holding a few or more planets, something has to exist. We can't, we just can't be the only intelligent, evolved, mortal lifeforms in the universe. It's just too difficult to comprehend. If they do indeed exist, there could be endless possibilities on their intentions on matters of our contact with them. I've seen alot of pop-culture claims on what 'they' might want if 'they' do indeed contact us, much less come near our system. Conquer, exploration, trade, or even something else we can't even think of or comprehend for that matter. As I've heard in the past, we can only submit to whatever they want, as our technology would be 100 billion milleniums obsolete to theirs. As many people believe, we can only wait and see (or hear) what happens. My belief is that 'they' won't contact us until we start exploring outside of our system. Otherwise 'they' might just think that our we are very primitive lifeforms with no point in contacting.
