RE: SETI@home for AS/400!!!

[Dennis Munro <DMunro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have been running SETI at home for the last couple of months.  I am on my
33rd set of data and am averaging about 31+ hours of computer time per set.


I have a Gateway GP-400 with 128 mg of memory and I have it as my screen
saver - which means I have it set up to always run in the back ground.
Obviously, I don't shut my machine off at home unless a storm is in the
area.  Totally I have in excess of 1050 hours toward looking for "ET".  

It does cause some programs to act crazy so I would be a little cautious
about putting it on my production machine but I have a test/dev machine that
might be a possibility.  I also have an F35 that is about to be scrapped
that would be another candidate except the room it takes up, I want for my 2
other black box machines.

"I love deadlines.  I especially like the whooshing sound they make as they
go flying by."

        Folks:
         
        The SETI@home project is working on porting their client software to
the
        AS/400!!!

        For those of you not aware, the SETI@home project is using a
distributed
        computing model to search for Extra-terrestrial intelligence by
sending data
        to participants home computers to be processed.
