Sorry, I just felt the urge to say this. There is nothing particualarily

I'm sure this has come up HUNDREDS of times before, but why not attach it

I agree, 30 days should be considered a minimum. I don't know it if could
be put into the primenet server, but could a 'trust' setting be put in?

Anyway, if anyone could just vaguely point me in the right direction, or
tell me if I am talking rubbish before I go and start reading up on all
this... Thanks!

it will show if numbers are
composite and if it is quick, then primes could be checked using it, then
double checked via another means, also giving the opportunity to disprove
a major hypothesis of maths...

Just one question, couldn't you install Prime95 and the Set@home
screensaver. Surely it would be worthwhile, although not quite as much
use, to Primenet? My computer tends to have no screensaver on at least 50%
of the time it isn't switched on...
