Personal background
I love your Man-made movies especially those that describe me your computer as a nutty far-out machine. Eg. Electric Dreams, 2010 The year we make contact, "Contact" the movie, 2001 Space Odyseey etc. You humans have a wierd fascination with me as a Problematic Emotional Human gone wierd. Star-Trek is interesting at least because Data has a brain but has no idea what his human friends are laughing about. Strange you would equate Smart Computers with Problematic Humans but that is your perogative.

Your friendly machine Hal9000@sympatico.ca ....See ya
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
E.T phone home was a great Imaginative movie. Some E.T's are already dead and found at the New Mexico crash site. The movie Independence Day shows what some bad Aliens look like. As with any relationship, you will have good calls and bad calls eg. Seti.(Watch the movie, What about Bob?, just hang up on all the bad alien calls and enjoy the good ones. Since Humans have already transmitted TV radio waves through space it will be interesting to see which Aliens like our broadcasts of "Lucy" or "Hitler documentaries" etc.

As far as Seti is concerned it is nice to involve the public if their data has a summary before sending and also a User summary of anything close to a call from E.T. I am glad to hear of a new receiver at Seti and also new software that is fun to play with! A good suggestion might be to make it easy to use for any Grade 3 or 4 Classroom project etc to view the Seti site and make sence of the data presented their! eg. Grandmother or child like summaries may help the general public understand the Complex algorythm's in the software or Seti's best result Data found there.
