thinking of starting a seti@home sager group

i've been a participant of the distributed computing experiment, seti@home since it's early days, logging over 47000 hours of processor time yielding over 3800 completed work data units gathered from the areceibo radio observatory for analysis.

i've been a member of team macaddict for all these years, but they seem to have lost their ambition of the early days. i'm pondering starting a sager seti group. would anyone join is the question....

for those of you unfamiliar with distributed computing, the premise is that the power of the many(home computers) is greater than the power of one(supercomputers). seti@home participants download a small program that downloads data in 'work units' about 300k/ea, then analyzes them for patterns predetermined for intelligent communication. the analysis program uses only IDLE processor cycles, so you will see zero degredation in performance. if you leave your system running at night then this is a great way to utilize your proc for a good cause.

do i have any takers

it's tongue and cheek and is open to any suggestions for replacement you folks might have.
