64) Message boards : Number crunching : Yes or No (Message 549103) Posted 19 Apr 2007 by Jim Wilkins Post: This is a YES or NO question!!! If you add anything other that YES or NO, bad for you. 2 or 3 letters. 3 for YES, 2 for NO. Here it is. If SETI didn't give "credits" would you still do it??? Remember YES, or NO only, not justification either way. 2 or 3 letters, YES or NO. (EDIT) A lot of folks have visited this post without a vote, please vote either way, no hard feelings either way. YES

66) Questions and Answers : Macintosh : Compute error after requesting "Show graphics" (Message 527600) Posted 7 Mar 2007 by Jim Wilkins Post: This could happens sometimes. Some users has reported this issue, too. Did your WUs crash on every attept to show the graphics ? So far I know will Eric has fixed this problem in the next SETI release. I think this has happened maybe one other time and I process a lot of WUs, so no, this is not a common eror with me. Jim
