generally a lurker but...
I have to agree with the comments below especially re the Bellcos - except in my case it's another well known UK telco provider.
I gave my project proposal to set up on our machines to my boss weeks ago and it has vanished into a black hole.
They didn't even have the courtesy to return the folder I bought! Cost me a quid!
I just hope that our IT dept doesn't suddenly 'have a good idea' re the GIMPS project and claim it as their own!

All,
I'm going to try to get my school to install Prime95 on
their >100 PII's. Does anyone have experience dealing with
large stupid beurocracies? Any pointers? Who should I try
and
talk to first?
Thank you in advance,
Lucas Wiman

First rule when dealing with large stupid beauracracies: If
it's a bellco,
forget about it.
