Mersenne: Teams and AOL
Q1: Are there any problems running prime95 and connecting via an AOL account? Q2: I currently have 3 pcs and am trying to convince some friends to also run it, if possible adding them to my account. With multiple pcs belonging to several folks I'm wondering if I should become a GIMPS 'Team'? What are the Pros and Cons? Can my ordinary Account be converted to a Team? If Yes, how? Could it be un-done later? Why might I want to? Cheers...
