I had a rough day at work today so if I am stupid just say
so......now if I read you correctly the only thing your using seti
for is the cool screen saver program and you don't give a ratz ass
about finding ET?

LOL.  Basically, yes, I've used the SETI screensaver for years
essentially just for the screensaver aspect.  I've always just
considering the actual crunching of numbers as something "abstract"
-- that is, considered it pretty neat and would love for the SETI
project to find an ET signal with intelligence, but it was the
screensaver that I mainly used the program for at my (user) level.
Netherless, always ensured that the program had network access so it
could faithfully download work units and upload the results. At my
(user) level, basically just looked at the number crunching as CPU
cycles being put to cool use when I wasn't using my computer anyway.
Pretty good deal, a nifty screensaver for some unused CPU time.

LOL ok I understand now...

What are you going to do when they close down seti classic?

Wait patiently for BOINC to incorporate password enabled
screensavers.   I know that these BOINC projects are, for the most
part, unfunded volunteer work -- but it couldn't possibly be that
difficult to add such a simple feature?

Well I wish you a short wait<G>
