So is anyone else participating in the SETI@Home program?  I have 5

Thanks for reminding me about that!  I'm going to go download it now.

Are you sure about what you're running?  They purposely don't release the

...And Mike, what are you doing with 13-15 PC's at home?!?  Aren't you going
to share with the rest of us?  :-,
