it helps look for extreterrestrial life on your pc

that means you could be the one to discover life outside sol

I ran that several years ago. Too much HDD thrashing and besides, I do not keep my computer on or online all the time...

Gone it is.

Aslo remember to check the astronomy software Distant Suns, as they have a special SETI@HOME version of it (allowing you to see which part of the sky you are currently scanning).
You can download Distant Suns 4.2 for free, but I advice bying Distant Suns 5.0, as it has better graphics, has lots of new features, and is a lot faster then version 4.2.

I have been using SETI@HOME for quite some time now, have completed 14 data-units and are now finishing the 15th one.

Nice idea posting it here.

Now folks: those that dont have SETI@HOME yet should run and get it; as it dont only scan for small green men from outher space anymore: it also scans and maps Pulsars; black-holes; even extra-solar gas-giants. :D
