I have little computer sat on my floor crunching away in a little house in Wales. Hopefully it is contributing to something that might fufil a little dream I have that we are not alone and in some far corner of our galaxy there is life perhaps not has we know it, but is sentient and can dream, hope, and love the same way I/we do. That is why I crunch for SETI.
