I am a self employed old guy looking to find new customers for my HVAC business. I
am sure if we can contact some E.T.I. I can get a good size market share of their heating and cooling needs. We just have to determine what their climate is so I can determine if they need heating or AC, or maybe a heat pump.
I like to listen to rock music with beer, classical and jazz with wine and country music with earplugs. I love to read classic issues of Mad magazine while drinking everclear with my cat sprinkles who is partial to Jack Daniels..
I play guitar and ride motorcycles (no alcohol then) and enjoy ogling expensive cars and beautiful women.(not in that order)
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1. Hope of financial gain, or maybe just get some new drinking buddies....they do drink don't they?
2. I am always in favor of opening up new markets.
3. I have some great radio advertisements for my business. Maybe we could upload some of them to the radio telescope and generate interest on their part to contact us more quickly. I could offer some great discounts to the first 100 ET's answering the adds.
