I so wish I could do more, but my kitty bowl is empty. To me it is almost an addiction to give to SETI, and I get frustrated when I can't. Common,,,, lottery!

I am amazed and totaly speechless with what this thread has accomplished. My small donations pale when compared to Joe's and others here. If I were not disabled and forced into early retirement I would certainly be able to contribute much more financial support than I have. Perhaps the lottery will come in for me tonight.

Mark, perhaps you should go into full time fund raising for SETI!

Thank you John!!

We now have the warranty and processor upgrades covered.
Unless MarkJ wants to save his $500.00 for hard drives.

And please do note that I am dealing in donation totals.
I have not forgotten that Berkeley takes a cut before the funds are transferred to the project. But for this fund drive's purposes, I feel this is close enough.

Oh wow, Jon.....
Another OMG moment brought to you by yet another generous participant in the Seti adventure.

That brings us to.......drum roll, please........

$2993.00 so far.
This will help towards the drive upgrade, whatever that may be decided is best.

Alright another bit. Hopefully this is enough to get this over the line with the upgrades. You can never have enough memory, disk space or CPU power. So lets get those upgrades.

Cheers,
MarkJ

Hoping to get some feedback on what the best direction to go with the hard drives really is. You have been most generous.

SSD's. Nah just joking :-) My last purchase in that area didn't work out too well.

If you can give us a quick total so we know if we've got there. Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? LOL

Was that for yourself or Seti?
I seem to recall Matt was going to yank a couple of them because they were being problematic.

Jon.....
Your $10.00 donation is very welcome here. If that's what you feel you can or wish to donate, that is just grand.

I have been trying to impress that upon folks......
It's not like you can't show up for the party unless you have a large amount to give. It only takes 9 more just like you, and hey...we got another c-note in the kibble bowl!!

Thank you Jon.
