Amiga.org SETI@Home effort

[System]

Amiga.org, thanks to Dalamar, is now officially part of the SETI (Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence) effort.  While there is no Amiga version of the client yet, we're hoping that our team will both spark interest in the project, and possibly even lead to the development of client versions for the various Amiga compatibles.

If -- like most of us -- you have a "spare PC", Linux box, or Macintosh compatible lying about, please consider joining "Team Amiga.org SETI@Home".

Frankly?  Because we had apparently zero idea that the other team existed.  You REALLY ought to advertise more.

Honestly speaking, I feel no impetus to join a generic "Amiga" team whose members I usually don't know and built-in politics that I don't know whether I support, whereas I very much support a team of Amiga.org members banning together for the same thing.  

Kind of like bowling.  I have no desire to join a "league".  I don't know the people in a league, but if my friends asked me to join their "team" then I would gladly do so.

Not a typo, a "text field truncation".  Apparently Dalamar simply cut and pasted from the About Amiga.org page.

Not at all.  Why does everything in the Amiga community end up having to choose sides and competing?  There's no point in it.

Speaking semi-OT, I personally don't agree with the exclusionary ideal of the current "Amiga" team.  Amiga.org is the place for AmigaOS *and* compatible operating systems to include AmigaOnes running Linux, AROS, WinUAE, and even MorphOS.  We don't exist to solely support Amiga Inc as your team's description implies.

If you want to change the core description of your team to be a little less exclusionary, I'd be happy to talk with Dalamar about merging.

I've got an Athlon XP 2800 with 512 mb of DDR400 ram and it still appears to take about 4 hours to do one block.
