Im not? Now I feel self conscious when I post goofiness, knowing
that the more serious crowd is reading. I have been trying to cut
down on kookiness, you may have noticed. {8-]

OK, do you consider GIMPS worthwhile as a starting point or
seed crystal? We have a small team now, so after I get done
here I need to start organizing that. ExI GIMPSers, watch for
instructions in the next few days. If not GIMPS, then what?

Eliezer, thats why god has given us you. Im not enough of a
software guru to even start, but I figure I can help supply raw
materials (interconnected computers, on all the time, with idle
CPUs 99.999% of the time) for those who are. Shane Brubaker
has some ideas. Im encouraged to get with it. And who knows,
one of us *might* win the EFF hundred grand. {8^D spike
