"if I can get past the school's proxy, I will have SETI@home running on ~50 on total, 24/7 "

This comes off the seti page.

The last setting is Proxy. Most users will bypass this setting. This is for computers, that connect to the Internet through a Proxy server. Click the Proxy server button and check the type of server that you connect through. Fill in the name of the server and port number and then click ok. For example, many users have a PC at work that they would like to run this on. Most likely your company PC has the Internet connecting through a Proxy server. Most users don't know what the name of the server or port number is but there is a trick on how to get that server name. If you either connect to the Internet with Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape then you can get the name of the Proxy server.

In Microsoft Internet Explorer Click --> tools --> Internet Options --> Connections Tab --> LAN Settings... There you will see the name and port of your Proxy server.
In Netscape click --> Edit --> Preferences --> Click the + beside advanced --> proxies. There you will see the name and port of the Proxy server

OK, I have had a break-through in that I now know how to use Excel better. Hard to believe I got through life this long without being able to use Excel very well. I am compiling all of the stats into the excel document and will have it all analyzed and formatted to put up on our SETI page. I will ask Fredi (webmaster) to have the SETI page link viewable from within the Distributed Computing Forum. So that you don't have to wait for the charts, I will first post the numbers in here. I should be able to post somethng within 24 hours.

Cool, That'll be great. If I knew Excel better I'd offer to help, but my skills there are somewhat lacking.
