LoL, Just felt the need to send a big hello out to
all my fellow GIMPS participants. It has been just over 6 years since I
joined the project. There were only 212 members when I joined. My
friend Mike Gach was one of the first 60 members to join and got me
interested. It has been a long but enjoyable time with everyone. I
miss the comments and discussions from some of the earliest members, but am ever
glad to see new and motivated members joining our ranks. Kudos out to
George Woltman and Scott Kurowski for doing the lions share of development which
we all enjoy. Big thanks to all those in the credits also, there are
many many more key people who have put hard work into making this project what
it is and I apologize for not specifically naming everyone
involved.
For everyone new to the project let me just
say "WELCOME"! Rest assured you have found a great group of people
that not only share this common interest, but from reading almost every e-mail
on the mersenne list I can also testify that our group appears to maintain
a group of people with a high standard of ethics and genuine interest in team
work. Don't let the daunting size of the current assignments overwhelm
you, your efforts do not go unrecognized and certainly offer the hope of a
possible reward ;) It has been quite some time since our last discovery
and I would suspect we are on the verge of a new record breaker. You never
know if you are the next one to be a Titan;) Keep up the good work
everyone new and old! The future is ours (well as geeks speak goes anyway)
hehe
