How long are you staying?

I was wondering how long everybody planned on staying and searching, and there is no simpler way than to use a poll. Feel free to vote and if you feel like it, indicate how you voted and why.

I'll stay around until it is finished, but I might have to scale back my searching if I decide to go back to college for one (fun) class in August, while working full time and travelling on business and vacations.

I'll probably only be able to scan for 1 or 2 hours a week until November and it starts to get cold and snowy here. Last weekend would have been the time for me to scan for quite a few hours.

I know what you mean. I have to work a lot this summer to pay for colleg, and I don't have a very good connection at my house, so I would have to use the public library most of the time. Despite this though, I will try to scan as much as possible, and hope to get in at least 2 hours per day except sunday.

I'll probably be at it until my family decides I need to get a life! :)
Really, I don't know. I might just find that the times I have available will be at night and I may be too tired to search properly. I won't do it if I can't be accurate!

That would be too bad if you you were unable to do it, because you are obviously excited to start, and would be great at searching if you were able to do it properly(the more the enthusiasm, the better the searcher).

Thanks sb126k! I think we are all excited, but of course, we haven't even started yet.... :(

I'm in it until the end, or at least until I'm done with my Geochemestry paper on the Stardust probe. :P Nah, I'm in it until all 1.6 million slides have been scrutinized over and all the dust particles are found. :D

I hope to be viewing "movies" with my stepdaughter...

1) As long as needed.
2) As long as we can (yes, Virginia, we both DO have lives!).
3) At whatever pace works for us (see #2).
4) Or until the Fat Lady sings. :cry:

...regardless if a particle is found or not.

'Nuff said. Good luck to all!!

I definitely agree with sb126k. I can't wait for this to go live! I hope to be able to stick with it until the last of the 1.6 million movies have been examined. :)
