Hi all,

Thanks to Pawly, I was more like re-recruited. :shock: I am original from Denmark, which is probably best known for The Little Mermaid and storyteller H.C. Andersen.
I am happily married 29 years to a Swedish Canucks fan from the hockey-crazed town of Örnsköldsvik (pronounced Earn'sholds'veek). We reside in a small seaside Village south of Vancouver, BC.

When I started running SETI in 1999, little did I know, till 2001, I was running it under my son's account! :(
SETI was first introduced to an IBM clone running 'Windows 95'. Then it got a new home on a DELL Pentium II with Windows ME preinstalled... ..my worst nightmare. After months of PC hell, I installed Windows XP which was a much improved and stable OS. However, my PC wasn't at all happy running XP, so I was forced to streamline and dump a bunch of ad-ons including SETI. Which brings me pretty much up to date. Except to say, I'm now a HAPPY iMac fan who had forgotten all about SETI until Pauly re-recruited me. :)

Welcome Back to the fold, Swedane! You have company in WildRose3, also returning from a long absence. Looks like some of my emails are getting thru to those who have either been disenchanted or lost interest in SETI and BOINC. Fantastic!

Too late, Pawly, I'm here now! :lol: :P


Hello to you Canadians.

Image

Since you don't have a New Member or Hello here thread, I'll use this one started by one of my countrymen, Swedane. (Hi Swedane, Image)

Anyway, I hope we'll have a good cooperation in the future about our common interest, crunching.
