A few weeks ago I got a chance to meet and speak with
Dr. Jill Tarter of the SETI Institute.  When or if she 
announces a radio signal that appears to be from ET 
technology, that news story will have my full and 
undivided.  Just like Jody Foster did the whole time
I was viewing Contact.  {8-]

I need to look into these other guys, the SETI at homers.
They probably have made important contributions, but
I need to study their data input, see where and
how much they are getting, assure myself that they 
are making optimal use of all those idle computer
cycles they are having donated.  I might pull one
of my machines off of GIMPS and turn SETI at home back on.

Anyone here up to speed on SETI at home?  Are they
careful to never give out the same segment multiple
times?
