Personal background
I'm originally from San Diego. Born at the end of 1961, and ever since i could articulate a knob, button, device, or finally at last, participate in a project like this, would make my 8th grade computer science teacher proud. Mr. Nygaard, at Will C. Crawford High School. Back then, all we had were third generation mini computers (Hewlett Packard 2300f, talking over an old switchboard phone system at the offices of the San Diego Board of education through the old Pac Bell. We used two Consul 580 units, two IBM keypunch 029 machines and a single DEC Writter II. On days when we would be waiting (hopefully) for a successfull compile, we would resort to the old 2-D Star Trek game, or play one of three "civilization" simulations.....Sargon I and II, and a program called "generation", which modeled the growth of bacterial organisims. Basic, Fortran, Cobol, DBase I, II and III, Unix BSD V.5. C, C+, RPG I and II, DOS, WINDOWS, all versons....Strange, i've not yet delved into Macs, because they're so "end user-friendly" that I haven't had to.

I am currently retired and recovered from what would have been a career in banking, but i'm much betternow.

Human Systems Engineering, or Imagineering is a hobby of mine. Long term survivability is also a prime motivating factor.

Glad to be on board, and thanks again to everyone who ever reads this. what we can do now together with these machines may yet save us from those who would make the next October surprise another false flag operation.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I run this program to help crunch the data that otherwise would take an inhuman length of time. Because first contact is a passion of mine, for many reasons. The ability to link our computers together for a single purpose greatly accellerated the probability of this scenario happening during our lifetime.

I view the project as a way for people to cooperate in a manner never before possible. We don't have to "go" anywhere to "do" anything. Load, point, click.
viola'!

Suggestion - In J. J. Hurtaks' Book, "The Book Of Knowledge, Keys of Enoch"
one of the keys outright says that we are using the wrong frequencies
and looking in too many hay stacks. He also goes further by giving
precise frequencies and stellar groups....maybe we could get a subset
of data, to see if there is a correlaion between Hurtaks' vision and
what's in the data for those coordinates and frequencies....
