Here is the offer.......... If I can confirm 4 other offers of $1000.00 each in the nest hour, I will kick in the final $1000.00 to buy the new server for the Seti closet. That would be $5000.00......should buy a nice piece of hardware. Offer expires one hour from now........... Let's see who can pick up the gauntlet and cut the whining.

OK. I got a dividend payment of £700 into my bank today - that's near enough, and I'll round it either way to match your $1,000 One confirmed, three to go. |

Here are some details on why we are shopping for a new server. Currently, our SAH science database runs on a Sun x4500. While rock solid and trouble free, the max 16GB of real memory is a painful bottleneck in our back end processing (even during the outage days). The ntpckr and rfi filter are very memory intensive. We still need to nail down just how much memory we will need. |

Never mind, my green star was due for renewal anyway, and I was waiting for that divi. Thank you for your gift of $1000.00 for the SETI@home via Visa on 08/06/2010. Anyone else still in? |

I'll restart the offer.......... 4 more Seti donors with $1000.00 each. And I will kick in $1000.00 more in kibble. No F'ing with my thread, please. I will not make the offer again. Can I get a second? You get this fine Seti coffee mug, once kissed by Eric himself.......... Of course, if he has not, I will ensure personally that he kisses it with his very lips....LOL.
