Why do you run SETI@home?
i really don't know why i like running seti so much. i have had the screen saver "glued" to my machine since i found out about it though. and there is just something mysterious about analysing deep-space radio static on your personal computer.
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.
