Ok.......
It's time.

The fine folks at SETI.USA have been hosts to the kitties for the last year.
Kevin was sooooooooooooooooo generous at the last auction, and has held up his end of the deal even though times have been rather tough for him.

Thank you so very much, Kevin.

Time for me to do my bit for Seti again.........

Now taking bids for my crunching services for the coming year.

I will join the team who offers the highest contribution to the Seti project for the next year. I know I have been absent from the forums from time to time due to my behaviour......but I always keep crunching.

So........the kitties are waiting.......and they got the bits to put together another i7 rig soon.......

Any takers?

The Seti project benefits.........because they get the bid. Last year, it was a few thousand dollars into the kitty...........

And the winning party gets bragging rights to my crunching services for a year........for whatever that is worth.....LOL.

It's not that it's really worth anything.......
It's the concept, my friend.

Just wondering how the Kitties know the correct donation has been given.

Knowing I may have to wait a couple of weeks for the answer.

If I recall correctly, last year the winner sent a copy of the receipt from Berkeley to the kitties.
