When you have the press release, maybe you can send it to the big ones, Reuters, AP, others? Then it will be easier to have it broadcasted to the media. Here they do a lot of stories they get from there, where they are not interested if they have to write the story themselves, and they hardly do anything unless it's about a local person.

Although a small community, G4TV viewers are likely very tech-savvy, and could see some new people joining Seti@Home (or other BOINC projects) as a result.

I sent about 180 e-mails out across Britian and Ireland. I am terible at keeping up with news so i dont know if any of the newspapers or radio stations carried it. I did not see it on the british TV news channels. Its just an amusing story and most people don't realy care. Its dificult, you need to know someone involved in the media. Good luck James, John in Ireland. ID: 511452 ·

Dr Jill Tarter, Director, Center for SETI Research is currently embarked on a North American lecture tour. I am not sure how closely she might be affiliated with SETI@Home and the Berkeley folks, but wouldn't it be cool if she could add a small anecdote to her presentations ie '"Laptop calls Home" as part of SETI search, and is rescued.' The good Dr. will be presenting in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada at the Perimeter Institute in early March 2007. Waterloo is the tech research centre of Canada (silicon valley of the north) and consequently 'tons of computers'here. Just image the exposure and potential BOINC recruits that might be found if she were to mention the 'benefits' of crunching for SETI@Home..ie if you loose your laptop, it could be found again if crunching with BOINC. I'm sure she would at least get a kick out of the whole story. I plan on attending her lecture when it comes to town here next month, and I invite all fellow SETI@Home crunchers to also attend if in the Waterloo area. If anybody needs details, just ask me or email me via my site profile. The lecture is free but tickets are required. ID: 512457 ·
