Update on the SETI program: The constant action in the computer might case the system to heat up. Is there a problem with over using the system so that it will not last that long. Even in electrical systems when you don’t use them, they last longer than a heavily used ones. So as an alternative I have decided and implemented the following: In the evening I put the BOINC program into a snooze mode and then turn the computer off, but during the day hours it is free to run because there is no problem of using the computer at any time I want to and it needs to be on because of Velda’s printing needs. I hope that this 50 / 50 solution will at one hand help the calculations and at the other hand give the computer a rest.
