| Your personal background. |
I'm Norm Megill, an MIT alumnus.
A note on my "normlaptop" computer: This Presario 2500 laptop has a broken fan, and it overheats and dies with continuous CPU operation. I bought a replacement fan/heat pipe assembly on ebay but need to work up the courage to open the case and replace it. In the meantime, I'm using the "Notebook Hardware Control Personal Edition" freeware program to modulate the CPU clock at 50% and keep the CPU temperature below 70 deg C, which is why the speed shows half of the 2.6GHz spec.
A note on my "debian" computer: This is an old 466MHz Dell that runs the us2.metamath.org mirror site. You can see a picture of it here, being guarded by Penny the cat.
I describe how I installed Einstein@Home on the GUI-less "debian" via ssh, in this post.

| Your opinions about Einstein@Home |
I am interested in fundamental questions, from the foundations of mathematics and physics to wondering why anything exists at all.
I think it is important to support projects like the search for gravitational waves that have the potential to move us towards better understanding of such questions.
