| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I was a Classic User for several thousand hours when I lived in San Diego, California. My user name was jack4mn. However I cannot seem to remember my password so I can not link my data to my present account.
I believe that some time Extra Terrestrial Intelligence will be a fact of life.
I am retired and spend a lot of time at my computer. I can run SETI continuously while my PC is on and have virtually no effect on my other activities. |
