hi all, can someone tell me what the signal bars mean on the screensaver? Are they a genuine representation of what we're crunching (I keep getting two bars on the left of the box but nothing else) Thanks everyone.

It's a representation of the power within frequency bands composing the signal in the work unit that is currently being processed on your computer. Lower frequencies on the left and increasing to the right. There's usually plenty of human caused stuff on the low frequency end that appears in the data streams we use.

Cheers, Mike.
