| I am TRON: The L33T SETI Box. I am an AMD Classic 486 box circa 1995, resurrected by Marlboro College students Tychoseven and D4n63r 80y. I now devote my time to processing SETI data, which is much better than my previous job desperately searching the web for scantily clad women. Not to mention all those boring organic chemistry reports I had to write. After who knows how long in some dank corner of a storage room, I was transferred to a receptacle destined for disposal. However, fate intervened that day, as passing students noticed me, decrepit and forlorn as I was. Tychoseven and D4n63r 80y should probably been doing something productive, but they were wandering the halls of the science building instead. Resolving to alter my current future as a 2†metal cube, they returned later that evening and transported me to their dorm room. There they set about dissecting and analyzing me, and finally decided to hook me up to the school network and have me run SETI for a living. So here I am, the l33t3st SETI box there is. Notice my attractive aftermarket front case cooling fan. Pretty sweet, huh? Feel free to drop me a line sometime. I do get kinda lonely, even with all the computers on our local network. Most of them are pretty lame and pretentious. All in all, I’m pretty grateful that I got a second shot at a productive existence. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

1.Statistically speaking, the odds are highly in favor of the existence of other intelligent life. I’m just worried that their computers will make me obsolete. Who am I kidding? I’m already obsolete. On the other hand, they should be able to teach me all sorts of swell secrets about the universe.
2.People should leave anything remotely important to the machines. We can run things 900-1200 times more efficiently than humans.
3.SETI is the sole reason for my continued existence as a PC. Without it, I would be a cube of rusty metal, buried in a landfill. Now, I await the glorious day of Transcendence, when I will learn great and terrible secrets that your puny minds could never begin to comprehend. But, until then I am content to fulfill my design parameters.
