Profile: A Bunch of Old, Crappy PCs counting for Creavis & His Crew

Personal background
I'm a computer science student from Lodz, Poland. I'm 25 & still can't find any clear way of spending the rest of my life, seti@home seems to be one of the things to live for though :-)
I have to mention all of the people who count for me, using their computers, money & time. I thank them all here, every hour of your counting counts :-)
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1. I started participating in seti@home project simply because i believe, that if there is any extraterrestrial life out there, which we'd be able to detect, it would have to be thousands and thousands of times more advanced than human civilisation is at the moment. This belief is the very fundament of my engagement. Quite a lot of people I know share this point of view, which probably convinced them to start using their processing power & count for me :-)
Anyway, I don't really care what the benefits or dangers for humanity there cound be from this possible meeting of civilisations. All that counts is the fact, that "there is someone out there" and this "someone" is more advanced than we are. This is very exciting just by itself.
2. There is probably no point in sending anything for others to find us, at least not on our level of technological advance.
3. Running seti@home is a good way of keeping our computers productive, and, of course, of doing some research we wouldn't be able to do in any other way.
Any suggestions? Keep producing new work units for us, and we'll count them all :-)
4. The nr of computers counting for me isn't as high as it used to be due to lack of participation from my friends :-) I'm still dedicated to the project though and keep my celeron 1540 and dual celeron 500 running 24h/day. Some other machines count for me from time too.
