Your personal background.
I'm a 62-year-old American retired computer programmer living in Minnesota. I've always been kind of a science guy. I've been a ham radio operator for 48 years, I collect and restore vintage radios, ride a motorcycle, and drag race a mid-10 second 1970 Dodge Dart Swinger. I live in the country on 27 acres with my faithful black lab pal, Olaf.

Several summers ago, I took a 1,400 mile motorcycle trip around Lake Superior. The north shore is simply breath taking. We certainly have a beautiful planet. I hope we can keep it that way.
Your opinions about Einstein@Home
World society is decaying at an alarming rate. Terrorism, greed, fraud, and a "me first - screw you" attitude are all too common. If everyone subscribed to those self-serving attributes, the human race would face imminent doom. I do not want to be part of that sick mindset. I try to contribute to society, not feed off of it. Running E@H on three computers 24/7 is one way can I can give something back.
