I have a feeling that, if he had the machines and the time, George would
have already coded these things. If "I" discover the first million-digit
prime and become eligible for some part of that $50,000 prize, I plan to
feed a portion of that back to George with the proviso that he buy himself
an Alpha machine and some sort of multiprocessor machine to further the
search efforts.
