Together with my wife we own a Computer repair shop and a W.I.S.P. in southern Ohio USA. I have a rather large selection of used machines and was just tired of seeing them set around and not doing anything.
I am installing Linux Mint on anything that will run it and dedicating to SETI.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Well to think that we are the only intelligent life form (that part is still under debate)in the entire scheme of things is really far fetched,and kind of arrogant, so if it takes searching for a "hello is any one out there?" then I would like to say that I helped no matter how insignificant my help really is.
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.
