[QUOTE="Padawan, post: 27539, member: 273"] Yeah, I though it would be neat to have an all Mac team. I know some other Mac sites have teams too, so it could even introduce a little bit of competition between sites, which could be fun. :D Oh, and I guess I should have better explained SETI@home for those who aren't familiar with it. It's a distributed computing project which takes signals received from space and analyzes them for signs of intelligent extra-terrestrial life. It can run as a screen saver or constantly in the background. Basically, the home site sends your machine a "packet", then your computer analyzes it and sends the info back. You then receive another packet, and the cycle continues. It only requires an internet connection (and bandwith) when the packets are sent and received, which only takes a few seconds. [/QUOTE]
