What an amazing community and project to be part of since the beginning. p.s., I wish SETI sold plaques to folks who have been long time members who have achieved their 1 millionth unit... I would pay for it... could be a cool money raising technique... - Jason Stephens ID: 1996043 ·

I've done what I could on various computers over the years to help. Maybe with us going back to the moon finally we can look to putting a listening post on the moon or orbiting it. Keep up the good work everyone! ID: 1996056 ·

For the world we may seems Nonsense, working on huge technologies expecting something that has no evidence of existence. But one day, I strongly believe that we will be known for our volunteer works. All the best to all the members of the world wide spread SETI family. ID: 1996183 ·

I was never a dedicated cruncher after the 1st couple of years and then mostly used seti to benchmark my new systems out of habit. I love how how this community still fells very much the same as it did in the beginning. I wish more of the internet had kept the same attitude. Too bad I wasn't smart enough to care about keeping my original seti id. I'd love to know when I originally signed up after all this 20 yr nostalgia. I seem to remember when they added the graphics, or am I confusing that with the later Linux command line app that didn't have graphics? ID: 1996363 ·

It is encouraging to see that there are so many who were present and participating in this project at its' inception are still here crunching away today. Like so many worthwhile endeavors that require a lot of patience and perseverance, it is encouraging to see that this project that has a user group dedicated to the long haul. Let's see where the next twenty years will bring. ID: 1997191 ·

Not only is it questing for knowledge of our neighbors, it also is a great way to learn applied technology and keep up with computers, GPU's, and all the rest!

It was more exciting back in the day, when you could get an anomaly, and get to know that you were the one who did. Get that function back! ^Born under a never sleeping sun^ ID: 1997349 ·
