Evening All

Tomorrow I get ready for surgery for my Wife, she was the one that said Seti is a good thing (back in 2000)! I believe that after all this time that it will reduce her problems and my physical stress...

For most part, it means I will not be beating up Donations. However Donations are Very Important, so you have about a week of rest. I am finding that a group of people do know and are finding ways to help keep Seti Alive... Applause! The Key to making the Goal is getting the word to Everyone! Yes, I and others know that not everyone has the money to help. With over 200,000+++ users if ten percent can be reached and can help it would mean that Seti should have no problems. SPREAD The Word, Seti Needs Help! Team Captains, Your teams need to know.

With Matt's recent post the Web Server is overloaded and potently failing, or why the Forums are so slow to load at times. No that is not in the current budget, we just have to live with it... If some administrator has a white box server with a Tyan MB and a couple of Opterons doing nothing I am sure that Matt could make it work...

But then again this is all an exercise in how information gets shared... An exercise is what each person can do! Together, "WE" can insure that Seti Survives...

My Best Wishes for the New Year

Pappa

I'm sure I speak for many of us when I wish you and your wife the very best wishes through the surgery, and also the rest of this holiday season.

Regards,
Jack

I think it goes without saying from most of us but I do wish you and your wife the best during this time.
And a very Happy New Year to you and everyone else.

wee bit of sound advice: Check doctors creditials, look for signs (usually on walls of office) of continuing eduction, letters of recognition, commendations etc. look at the dates on them, if they're all from 1953, watch out.

Remember:

The person who finished last in medical school is still called "doctor".

best wishes
