An article also made the front page of Michigan Tech's weekly campus
newspaper, the Lode.  The article should be online within a few days,
and I will try to remember to post a URL when that happens.

The article is almost identical to the article published in the
Mercury News, with a few sentences relevant to Tech added.

The Mercury article mentions a $1100 prize for finding a prime.  Who
is offering this?  I wasn't aware that any such prize was involved in
GIMPS.  (The prize was also mentioned in the Lode article, but I
assumed they had confused GIMPS with distributed.net or some such.)
