Haha, yep I just joined! This is really amazing, you know, to be helping the future of humanity while I'm just sitting here. More people should be
told about this.
Really, the best place to find out about both programs is from the relevant sites. Here for
FAQ's about SETI@home and here for BOINC.
Please have a look at those resources and come back if you need any further clarification iceofspades!! And, we hope you'll join up to either
program, of course!!
