Just a thought, but since SETI@HOME is only actually using the computer when its 
screensaver is on, maybe we could convince the SETI programmers to incorporate Prime95 
into the SETI@HOME program to run when the screen saver isn't and have those computer 
doing factoring or double checking... It might be worth a try?


"So, look on the bright side, my mathematical friends.  We are mapping
the mathematical landscape every time we discover a new Mersenne
composite, even if they are as common as grains of sand on the
beach.  Of course we want to find the diamonds, but to do so
requires sifting the sand.  When we map this landscape, it is the
same for all time and all the universe.  SETI@home is making a
map of sorts too.  Let us wish them well and continue.  spike"

 I agree, both are good projects. I'm very interested in SETI and whould love to see 
it succeed, but as soon as it finished its chunk of data, this computer is going back 
to searching for a needle in a haystack that we know is there (in other words, I'm 
going back to GIMPS). Good Luck everyone!
