Personal background
I am a 56 yr. old translator, computer freak, business man. I have a small network in my home office with 1 1.4 GHz AMD/Epox PC, 1 Pentium Pro 200 Mhz PC and 1 Pentium III 800 MHz PC, and I run Seti at all three.

After beeing an avid S&F fan since I was 14, this is interesting.

Apart from computing, I am interested in music, literature, photography, cayaking
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1. It would be very illogcal if i did not. But the chance to make any contact is statistically microscopic considered the infinity of time, the universe and everything (yes, I love the Hitchiker series).

2. Yes, in my opinion. It seems to me that everybody believes that en alien encounter will be positive, but it could be extremely dangerout. Still, I don't think we should avoid something that sooner or later is going to happen.

3. I run Seti to help out, and because it is fun.
