Hi
That's sad but I understad that decision. Well, as I have a server in the cellar which is running all the time (as I have some shells on it), I will search after another piece of work for my server (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_Projekte_verteilten_Rechnens), but certainly no SETI... Have a good time, Sebastian, and thank you very much for your hard work!
