While I am not a newbie to MacNN, I just signed up for SETI tonight (and joined the MacNN team, of course) and I have some questions. Mainly, what's the best way to run SETI? Meaning, if I have it hidden, or in the background, does it run as fast as if I have it in the forefront or the screen saver on? I have a G4 PB 500 and enough RAM to leave it running 24/7 pretty much, but I'm wondering if it is making any progress at all in the background. Sorry for such basic questions, but I want to help the best I can.

Just launch it as an application and mimimize it.
It will run fine.
