Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Ran Seti@Home for many years, got my 100 and 250 result certificates, then broke my iBook. Bought a used iMac (the old "gumdrop" style). After it died I replaced it with a Power Mac G4.

Glad to be back. I believe in the power of distributed computing and hope that it can do some good for science.
