Personal background
Born and raised in a village at the coast of The Netherlands. As a child I wondered through the dunes, finding old amonition and bunkers from WW II. As a teenager I started a new hobby: Citizenband Radio. At first my brothers and I started illegal radiostations, but we became tiered of being chased by the Radio Controle service. All our equipment was confiscated more then 10 times. But with my citizen band I covered the world. When the solar spots were at their height, I could even speak to people at the Antartic continent, South America and even New Zealand. That's where my interest in the universe grew. As a true trekkie I want to explore the universe. I have visited Kennedy Space Centre in Florida several times. In the 80's a boeing 747 flew over our beach beach with on it's back a spaceshuttle. It was mesmerizing.

Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I do believe the universe is so huge, there is bound to be other planets with lifeforms exsisting. Though I'm too old and my eyes to bad to be an astronaut, I wish to contribute to the search of life in the universe. My daughter help me in the search too. We use seti-spy. We deliver over 10 units a day. My wife has had 1 unit with a best gaussian of 22,997. In her skymap a green dot had appeared, whereas all others were red. After contacting Seti@Netherlands we learned this is quite uncommon. In her log a * stood behind the outcome. I hope she found something really interesting. I can hardly wait for Seti@home to contact us to tell us what it was.
All I can say is that Seti@home makes computing much more interesting.....
