I just realise that I have been doing SETI officially for 8 years and one month..Jesus is it really that long... But that also means that many of us here have "known" each other on and off for almost as long. I recall talking to Ron (Kinguni) online when the 9/11 attacks occured, and we had known each other for about a year or more at that time..

It is amazing how quickly that time has flown by...but I have got to "know" some truly fine people all over the world as a result of S@H..it is the epitomy of what the Internet is truly about, communicating ideas, information and getting to know people regardless of race, religion, politics, sex or any of the other stupid stereotypes all humans seem to form in their heads..

Yes in that time there has been hard-times, but all "families" experience this type of turmoil occasionally, but the fact is I think everyone has come out the other side better and stronger for it.

Fellow team Members, it has been a complete honour and pleasure knowing you all over the whole time of SETI, and I look forward to another 8 years or more of these and other projects which help advance our knowledge and test our hardware knowledge and software tweaking abilities to the limit and beyond..it is called progress..

THANKS FOR 8 YEARS OF GREAT TIMES, COMMUNICATION AND FRIENDSHIP

Kinguni wrote Wow! That's a long time running SETI! Congratulations on the anniversary.

Ron you must have been doing a fair time now, afterall we have known each other for the best part of 7 years now...

Congratulations on your 8 years of crunching!

Mine is coming up soon.  Like Ron I just used the Screensaver for a long time..
