I started with the seti@home project many years ago too. Sometimes I use the BOINC software to switch between Einsten@athome and seti.

As I said before, I may not be smart enough to be some great scientist but I sure get satisfaction helping them crunch their data. I love this program. It's a perfect way for amateurs to feel like they're chipping in to some worthwhile scientific endeavor.
