Computers have been a hobby of mine ever since the fallout of the CB heydays. I actually bought a computer (TRS80) in the hopes that I could use it to learn or have it decode Morris code off the air waves. Well Now I am using it to Find the Ultmate CBCQ Skip - Several Billion Miles across the Galaxy with a little help from Seti :)
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Yes there must be life out there. There are to many examples of life on earth that live in so many different environments. I think that life is just as much a part of the universe as the Atoms the makeup the components of the stars.
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.
