Bah, top 100 factoring isn't that hard!  :)

I just checked my ranking and with only four computers I'm sitting at 140 
and top 100 looks quite doable.

You could make your mark by poaching the last remaining exponent under M38, 
assuming that Draco Malfoy doesn't beat you to it.  :)

Well, you could be goofy like me and try to get to the same # ranking in
both the factoring and LL test stats.

For a while I was #15 on both, but I think my factoring slipped to #16
and my LL moved to #14... Better add another factoring machine. :)

The fun part is you don't even need to have a bunch of machines... Just
shoot for being like #98 on both lists or something, adjust your work
accordingly to get it just right. :)  I suppose it's easier as you reach
higher on the stats because we're more spread out there, but the
jostling for the #15 position in the factoring table does seem pretty
close, relatively speaking...

Mersenne: Factoring Top 100

Well I've recently reached my 2nd GIMPS goal of getting into the
top 100 factoring.  Last summer I made it to the top 1000 LL
testers and then switched from double checks to factoring to
make my mark there.

Now what to try for?  :-)
