Personal background
GREETINGS! Welcome to my SETI@home profile page. My hobbies include playing chess, mindless PC gaming, collecting old LED scientific calculators and pre-IBM PC era home computers, ham radio, just about anything that has to do with Star Trek (TOS), and (of course) SETI.

I've run SETI@home on a variety of PCs, ranging from a 100 MHz Intel 80486DX/4 to a 3 GHz Intel Q6850 Quad Core Extreme Edition. Naughty me, in direct violation of program nomenclature, I've also run SETI@home... @work! :-)

When my home PC isn't crunching data from da big dish in Mexico, looking for mathematical evidence of artificially generated radio waves from distant star systems, it is most probably running one of several popular "first-person shooters" like Unreal Tournament III or Starship Troopers.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Do I think ET life really exists? Of course I do, don't you? That's what SETI@home is all about; that's why we all run it. Besides, I grew up watching Star Trek, Star Wars, Space: 1999, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, the real Battlestar Galactica, UFO, Mork and Mindy, a host of other great Sci-Fi shows with aliens... as well as Dr. Carl Sagan's moving television series Cosmos on PBS (channel 13 in NYC), so how could I not think ET life exists?

Thanks for stopping by.
