I started running SETI@Home in May of 1999 using the Screensaver graphical version. I currently run SETI@Home using the command
line version. I run my home computer running Windows XP with an AMD Athlon 64 3000 processor.
SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.
