I'm from New Zealand, am 16 years old, and have lived in computers for the last 7 years. I mainly run Seti@home because I find it interesting and it gives my computers something to do :) And hopefully one day I'll get in the top 100 users (for New Zealand anyway)
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.
