Anyone have any tips for running SETI on laptop?  

Yeah.  Don't.  The tiny fans suck in all kinds of dirt which will
eventually require cleaning.  They were never intended for 100% duty
cycle operation.  Plus, that computer you're talking about is so slow
that you're burning it up for essentially nothing.

It's especially a bad idea now because all we're doing is processing
the same damn work units over and over and over again -- see the
server status page -- the tape list hasn't changed in weeks.  Unless
they do something about putting up new units, I'm shutting down at the
end of this week.
