thousands of people like you and me are using their PC's in this search for life on other
planets. You download a block of radio telescope information from Seti's site, then your
computer processes it whenever your screensaver comes on. When this block of information
has been processed, you send it back to SETI and get a new block to process. You might be
the one that finds ET! You can download the "Screensaver" program at http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu. After
you've installed that on your computer, I recommend that you join "The Crystal People
Reception Net" - sponsored by The Chiff
& Fipple.
