Hail from Tornado Alley, Joplin, MO

[HillbillyNinja]

Hi and thanks for having me. I've heard it said that any club that will have me is not worth joining, but regardless, here I am. I've been a member of Seti@home since 1999 and have over 705,000 credits to my name. However, I've been out of the loop for several years as my enthusiast time with my computers was diminished with the responsibilities of family life. Well, now that the kids have grown a bit and the wife doesn't need as much maintenence it's time for me to get back to crunching.

I know I can no longer do command line classic work units. I have the latest BOINC client up and running on three systems, soon to be four. I just quit my last inactive team littlewhitedogs.

I am a noob vet, if you will. How do I actually join your team?

Ok, so I have some simple questions that I hope the answers will point me in the right direction. Which programs should I be crunching? I'm currently on Seti (no work available atm), Einstein at home and PrimeGrid. Good? Bad? Recomendations? Also, which account manager should I be using and are those worth their time to use?

Sorry for the noobness, but I figure the only dumb question is the ones unasked.

Affirmative.
To answer your question I need to ask one or two.
*What kind of system do you have as this will determine what projects are suitable?
*Are you interested more in the science of the projects or just prefer trying everything?

Edit: If you are unsure what type of cruncher to be then may I suggest you take a look at our team divisions sub-forum here ---> http://www.setiusa.us/forumdisplay.php?81-Divisions. This will give you a general idea of what members here on the board like to do.
