During this time our personal statistics told us how many PC's were being used worldwide. I found this very interesting to know how many people were interested in finding ET. In August 1999 there were 1,133,740 participants and in April 2005 there were a staggering 5,420,225 !! (I've kept a spreadsheet for the whole period). Not only are these figures no longer given but we have no idea what position in the sky the signal is coming from or if signals are still coming from the Aricibo radio telescope. ?? ID: 145310 ·

I use BoincLogX in conjunction with seti@home map view. Both of these are avaliable for free at: BjÃ¶rn's freeware ID: 147924 ·
