I run SETI @ Home because I believe we are not alone in the universe, and I wish to support the efforts to prove that theory.
I think that this project is a great way to allow people who don't have other means of directly helping SETI participate in the search for intelligent life outside of our own little blue marble.
My only real suggestion would be to encourage people to continue to spread the word about this project and other projects like it. So many computers sit idly doing nothing....
SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.
