Your personal background.
I'm a 40ish Feild Applications Engineer for a Semiconductor company. Computers have been my hobby since I fist was able to get my hands on one: a Leading Edge 8088 with copproccesor, 640kB of RAM, dual 5.25" floppies and an amber monochrome monitor. Man, have we come a long way... I enjoy playing WoW, listening to music (heavy metal to classical), hanging out with my son and waiting for Scotty to beam me up and get me off of this crazy world!
Your opinions about Einstein@Home
I run Einstein because not only do I like the screensaver, but I'm slighly hopeful we can at least pick up some old signal artifact that might just let us know we aren't alone; or at least haven't been the only ones to crawl up evolutions path to be able to think for ourselves (most of us, anyway).

Make the Linux version a little more "Screensaver-Like". I don't mind running it like an application in the background, but let's see the pretty graphics, too! LOL. You Linux purests will choke on that one!
