>I can't believe people shorten the life of their CPU running SETI. Besides, if we find aliens several light years away, what are we going to do about it?

Hmm, well we could give them your address to put on their "stop by for
a checkup list". But, the point is, to try.

Do you really think that running SETI is going to shorten the lifetime of your precious CPU ? I've got a ten year old unix box that still scans the skys. Go ahead and toss a few poor scientists your extra CPU cycles, your CPU is not going to burn out. Your cat, really an alien, may however take a whiz on your keyboard.
