If Seti is an habit-forming drudge,
does this mean it is no longer fun?




Seti, no longer fun, are you kidding me? ;)

Maybe that's why it's so addictive, not only doing the cool stuff of looking for aliens but it's also a great place to hang out :)

And in addition, for us geeky types, Number Crunching is an invaluable source of technical, tweaking, and trouble shooting information.

Well, I may never take the second step......
But, I'll give you the first.

Hello, my name is Mark.
I am a damned alcoholic.
Bread and born as one, I never let go of the bottle since my 17th birthday.
It is what I do.
Yes, I am an alcoholic.
There is nothing I would rather do on a day off of work than grab a bottle of whisky and go on a run.
My delight, I am afraid to admit.
It took my brother down to suicide.
I was there.
Wrecked a half a dozen Buicks, fine cars.
Wrecked my personna here.
As Clint Eastwood said, killed about everything that walked or crawled upon this earth at one time or another. Because of the pursuit of the bottle.

And the sad part is..........I cannot say I can stop. I am drinking now, and I might drink tomorrow.
You think there is a plague. This has been one for a longer time than that.

I admit it here, altough I cannot stop it.
We all have to start somewhere.

Thanx for your honesty Mark, if you can read this. I'd say think of yourself right now and fix this darn problem, you're stronger than you think bro! I speak from my own meandering experience right now...

You know your addicted to seti/boinc when,

You must downgrade your car so you can get the latest & greatest rig built.

You don't go to the cleaners as often cause you need a new gpu this month.

At the end of every month you have to total up your seti points before you reconcile your checkbook.
