We're almost there!!! Remember it ends at 9pm EST tonight....the thread will be locked. Within a day or so a list of the donors and a grand total will be posted.

I held off on my original $25 check to see how we did. I'll now shred that and make a $50 check out tonight and mail it instead.

THANK YOU ALL!

Thanks Blurf, your 3 Day Challenge got me off my duff to make another donation.

Dear Friend of Cal,
Thank you for your gift of <snip> for: SETI@home.
Your confirmation number is: 38807

Even though I wasn't eligible for the recent "economic stimulus" handout, I know the S@H Team over the hill from me in Berkeley will put my donation to good use.

And I want to remind my fellow American crunchers to read up on the impact of forthcoming Aricebo Observatory funding cuts http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Searching_for_asteroids%2C_extraterrestrial_life_a_little_more_rocky:_Budget_cuts_threaten_to_close_Arecibo%2C_world%27s_largest_radio_telescope

and to then take a few minutes to write to your 'esteemed' Congressional representatives http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/arecibo_letter.php to provide adequate funding for Aricebo.

TIA.

Blurf, as it has done so well, why not extend the donation drive date by a couple of days to give the weekday crunchers a chance to partake too?

Just keeping things rolling along and hoping to get you to extend this deadline a couple of days... go on... you know you want to (let mad cackling ensue from behind locked IT department doors ;) )

There are 10 types of people in this world... those that understand binary and those that don't.
