There must be someone out there with a creative bone in their body that can come up with a halfway decent t-shirt - people will buy it, SETI@Home will make money. Sounds fairly easy to me, unless I'm missing something.... Sounds like a very good idea, Devs...? Account frozen... ID: 165290 ·

NOT from what ones computer can do.... Any dolt can supply CPU cycles to the project. It takes someone who REALLY believes in the project to dig deep...." The above statement is insulting to the folks who pay large amounts for electricity to run computers for Seti. Not corporates but the hundreds of home farmers out there. ID: 165315 ·

I agree it would be great on a black T-shirt. But without the BOINC logo lower right. People would say: "Hey, great T-shirt! ...but do you know a seagull shit on it?" LOL Not that I think the BOINC logo looks like a seagull shit (no way!), but I'm afraid if you shrink the picture so it'll fit on a T-shirt, the logo will be so small that people will confuse it with seagull shit - by mistake. :) ID: 165326 ·

Why is the green star for MONEY used before the donation of computer time? "buy a green star for $0.50!" Maybe the green star means your computer is energy efficient ID: 165407 ·

If it could be made larger by the original author then that would work. You mean this one? I agree it would be great on a black T-shirt. But without the BOINC logo lower right.

Monday I will contact a friend of mine that has been doing Silk Screening for somewhere around 20 years... It used to be that 3 color setup was around a $100 and with a minimum+ order the costs vary... So if enough people are interested, enough T Shirts could be ordered and then placing a credit card in the "appropiate dontation queue" at UCB could get you a T Shirt. For those that do not want to/or have a credit card a form of Banq Check could be done. Obvioulsy shipping would be via mail to reduce shipping/handling costs. So as I said if there is enough interest, then Matt can setup the web form for ordering... I will donate the cost of the 3 color Setup here... The goal would be min of 200 Tshirts... So Monday or Tuesday as I have the quote for 200 min order will post the results here. Then Matt and Crew can decide whether it worth persuing. R/ Al Please consider a Donation to the Seti Project.

Hi, Ray - I just plagiarized some of your text below for our donation site. I hope that's okay. After you get a PayPal account you can get a PayPal Debit Card. The debit card is a Master Card, so you can use it as a Master Card Credit Card to pay your donatins. Than SETI gets the money through Master Charge from your Paypal Acount. ... Ray - Matt works great btw,,,,, ID: 165502 ·

The Green Stars are going to be not only, a HANDY link to their donation page but, also a reminder to all those that haven't got one, they haven't contributed. Got to hand it too you Matt a nice way to increase otherwise flagging contributions to your Sala.. (COUGH) Seti Strange also to note that nobody from SETI has time to keep us updated about the project (not outages) but Matt has plenty of time to participate in this forum about donations (MONEY) Nice....
