I am 29 and live in the Silicon Valley. I work as a systems engineer for Veritas Software. Seti looks interesting to me so I have set up all of my computers to run the program. Love to water ski but haven't done much of that lately.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
It seems to me that there should be some life out beyond earth but I mainly run the program because my computers are on and not doing much else so why not help. Who knows what may come of it.
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.
