Personal background
Live in Rhode Island; family of 3; daughter in college. Collect shot glasses and track dollar bills on www.wheresgeorge.com - enter the bill's serial nos. and series (date) and you can track its course on where its been after you spend it (any bill, $1, $5, $10 and $20). Check it out. I'm a Bachelor of Science degree graduate of New England Institute of Technology in areas of networking/troubleshooting. Recently upgraded home computer to WindowsXP - found some glitches with this O/S but fixing it as I go. Currently involved in a community project in a Providence Rehab. house, connecting it up to a network, installing programs, helping users to use the keyboard, etc. A worthy project to put on my resume so far.
I have a dog at home, female, named Brandy, a Rotty/Shepherd mix and a loveable, sensible, intelligent dog. Loves her peanut-butter bone! Loves to go for car rides and run around the baseball fields. A beautiful shiny, smooth black coat and tan legs and underside, but her loving face is her best profile. She's 6 years old and contacted lyme disease lately but we're giving her meds to counteract it, poor baby! We all love her dearly as she is a member of our family.
Husband is a retired Vietnam/Desert Storm vet and proud of him. Lately, contracted Diabetic disease but is under meds and watching his diet.
Oh,I don't devote a whole paragraph about my dwelling place, but home is where you make it.

Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I had run SETI@home before when I had Windows98 and had already used about 5 units until I upgraded to WindowsXP, then had to restart all over again (darn it!). But I believe we are NOT alone, the universe is too big for us to be the only living things in it, so why not search for ET? Any way that we can send a beacon for an Extraterresteral to find is our way of knowing the truth. How many movies has anyone seen about ETs and how we came to be here? There are so many variables in how we got to be here on Earth, there has to be some scientific reason or justification as to how we became humans (even tho' we've looked back at Neanderthals), I think we have some ETs in our blood. Why then are we trying to search for one? If we thought we were the only ones in the universe we would not be trying to search for ourselves elsewhere. I think the best theory that fits our reasons for searching is the movie called "Mission to Mars" - about Mars and its origins. A crew of astronauts (starring Tim Robbins, Gary Sinese)land on Mars on a rescue mission - they find something on it that explains its origin - and to our delight, where we hail from. Good flick to watch. So, why not explore the universe in search of ourselves - SETI and its researchers and SETI@home will help all of us to accomplish our task - its our destiny to do so.
