Hmmm...I'd ask you to reconsider. Remember, it's something to harness that
extra computing power that otherwise is wasted. Sure, it's a setback to
lose 2 months worth. Heck, I had NTPrime running on about 20 processors for
quite a while and now those exponents >4.2M need to be rechecked, but what
else would those computers do in their spare time?
Heck, I had a terrible setback in regards to prime numbers, my own fault of
course, but I still use what computers I'm *allowed* to use (heh) looking
for primes. Just today I scrounged up a 200MHz PPro PC from spare parts at
work and got it searching...it's fun in some strange way.
So, I hope you'll reconsider. If not, I understand that too.
