sorry, I dont have time to sit through a flash presentation, could you explain what its all about?

it took about 2 minutes to get to the part that says its distributed computing...whew! like pulling teeth! *LOL*

I do SETI, what does this one do?

BTW SETI = a scientific experiment that uses distributed computing in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence.
You can participate by running a free program that downloads and analyzes radio telescope data.

Gives you the stats, no flash. It's a good project. I have to check with my IT to see if it would be permitted.
