SETI@Home to Crunch More Data

They have acquired a new high-speed digital data recorder which is Linux-powered, and was donated by Hewlett-Packard."

    I'm leeching onto your highly-rated post just to make a note that it's not Hewlett-Packard anymore, it's probably "Compack", "Hewlett-Paqard", or something of that sort since they merged.
