Well, I recently passed the 100 P-90 CPU years landmark. I thought it was neat. Would've gotten there sooner, but my bro and I lost a few machines to attrition recently. Sigh...and they were a bunch of dual and quad PII/PIII's. Double sigh... I suppose next year we may see Temple-U CAS pass the 1000 mark. And I must note that none of my LL CPU years belong to US WEST (although I think some of my 13.236 factoring years do). :-) It reminded me of how fun it was when I passed the 10 CPU year mark a long time ago. So okay, maybe I'm not a math genius. I follow the LL algorithm just fine, but I like to think that there are lots more like me out there who don't quite get it all, but have lots of CPU time to donate. I just wanted to let everyone know that you don't *need* to be a math whiz to contribute to what I consider a very worthwhile effort. Just my $0.02 (USD) worth.
