I had heard of SETI@home before, but had never thought much of it, but I saw a thread on a forum site and decided to give it a try. I think it is a great project and I hope someone somewhere does find something.
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.
