If you are referring to the normal factoring that Prime95 does, I am still
getting them, I have also noticed a tendency to get quite a few '2 in a row'
by that I mean if I get a factor, the next number is often a factor, far
more than you would expect by chance, is there a reason for this ?
My account name is 'MOates' if you want to check.
PS. I am not a mathematician!

Mike,
