I am Allen Dick at the University of Illinois. I study General Engineering and have a few computers that do not do much. So it is running SETI@home. I feel it is a good cause.
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.
