Seti at home left in cron

Question

Hi,
I recently transferred my files from my old iMac DV to my new MacBook, but unfortunately I think I've tranferred some of my problems as well.
When I opened Terminal for the first time on my new MacBook, it said I had 100 new messages. I checked to see what they were, and they are all error messages from the cron looking for the application Seti@home which I had installed on my iMac several years ago. Does anyone know how I would stop the automatic looking for Seti@home from happening every hour? Here's the text of one of the messages:

OK… if you open Terminal and type…
crontab -l
… and a whole pile of seti@home stuff comes up, and ONLY this stuff then if you type…
crontab -r
… and then restart your computer you should then be right. If on the other hand there is more than just set@home entries then you're going to need to be able to handle an command line visual text editor and use the…
crontab -e
… command to do an edit the cron file rather than a deletion.
I am assuming the seti@home stuff was installed into your user's cron file rather than the system cron file. If this doesn't work I'll go through the system edit which is somewhat more complicated as it won't be a simple deletion of the file.
As a side note… this is an extremely good example of why I would never use the Migration Assistant.
