I've been using SETI@home for years now.  I've set it up at the
colleges I attended, at home and at work.  But here recently, I've
been thinking about the point of it.

To my knowledge, SETI@home is out of new data completely.  So what
exactly are we running anymore?  Things that have been done 5 or 6
times?  Is there even a point to doing this anymore?  There are
plenty of other massive projects similar to SETI@home that need
participants and computer power.. and I just have a hard time
justifying using my computer for SETI, if my computer is doing no
good.

So someone out there that knows more then I do.. what exactly are the
units that are coming recently doing?  Is there a point at all to
them?

How do you mean "out of new data" completely?
