I started just a few days ago. I used to do Seti@home but found it caused my computer fan to race. I enjoyed looking at the Seti screen saver. Does A@h have a screen saver too ?

Nope. Your computer's energies are devoted the science involved.

In order to stop with the fan racing when you run Seti it will be necessary for you to go into “preferences” and lower the CPU percentage. This will control overheating and the fan can run at a lower and quieter speed.

We have embraced the Rob Ford way here which means no waste, especially no wasting CPU cycles on screensavers. When we need bright flashy coloured things to look at we do what Mayor Rob does... we take LSD. But no crack, we don't do crack, unless we're in a drunken stupor. We're telling the truth this time, honest.

Howdy from Calgary. Did you know Mayor Ralph died?
