Your personal background.
I drive a truck for a living, a vocation I chose after burning out in the IT field. Now, computers are just a hobby, but one I can enjoy, rather than banging my head against them and relying on them for all my income.

I've migrated what machines I have running over to BOINC, and am now in the process of adding even more to benefit the cause. I'm currently crunching on the following:

Andromeda: P4 2300, 512M DDR400 Laptop, Win2K
Bishop: Athlon 64 3400+ 1G DDR400, Win2K
Dewey: Athlon 64 3400+, 512M DDR400, FC4 32bit
HAL9000: C2D e6300, 2G DDR2-667, FC6 64bit
Huey: Athlon XP 2600+, 512M DDR400, FC4 32bit
R2D2: Athlon 64 3000+, 512M DDR400, FC4 32bit
Robbie: C2D e6300, 1G DDR2-533, FC6 64bit
Rosie: Athlon 64 3000+, 512M DDR400, FC4 64bit
Stella: Sempron 64 3000+, 384M DDR333, FC5 64bit
Twiggy: Sempron 64 3100+, 512M DDR400, FC5 64bit
Uniblab: Athlon 64 3000+, 512M DDR400, FC4 32bit
VIKI: Turion 64 1.8G, 1G DDR400, Win XP Media Center Edition
C3PO: Athlon XP 2600+, 512M DDR333, Win2K
Rachel: Athlon 64 3000+, 1G DDR400, Win2K

Maximillian will never crunch (DECstation 5000/200 with a MIPS R3000 @ 25Mhz).
Lucifer (Alpha 21164 @ 500 Mhz) needs a hard drive and a power supply, and will most likely be running AlphaLinux when I get him back up.
Norman (Dual UltraSparc II 400Mhz) I'll probably set up to Netboot, because I can't seem to find a CD-ROM for him that'll read CD-R's so I can get a decent OS on him. HAL or one of the other fileservers at the house will probably host his OS and drive space. If I can get him up and running, he'll most likely crunch (slowly) and be my club's (W1FTW) APRS station.

Note the naming scheme.. Not religious.. Computers, Androids, and Robots in the Movies, TV shows, and books.

I am also a member of team SETI.USA, the best team on the planet!
