Both would seem to be projects that have potential for > the betterment of mankind whereas seti is basicly an itch scratcher. I'd much rather run BOINC, really. The Berkeley people developed quite a bit of experience with the setiathome project which will be useful in developing a better client and a better model to do this. And the setiathome client never bothered me a bit, even running on servers... it had the good sense to know that if it didn't run and hide when something else wanted CPU, I was going to kill it dead. <grin> Cheers, -- Rodolfo J.
