I'm twenty four years old and I write and play bass in a rock band called "mae". This computer travels with me on tour and serves all of our recording needs. As it is usually connected to the internet, I'm running seti@home whenever we're on break from working.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I'm running seti@home because the processing power and network bandwith are otherwise just sitting in idle. What a waste! Someone may as well receive benefit, why not mankind as a whole?
