Win32Prime would be the correct name to use there since the name

I guess Prime95 comes from the "good old days" when Win95 was new and
unqualified program names were expected to be 16-bit Win 3.x
applications. BTW there

i vote for winprime or prim4win.
Hardly any good name, as there is (at least?) one version for another
OS, namely mprime for Linux.
the next idea is to give the prime

In the QA effort, we've seen a few instances already of errors caught

A few minor comments.
1. A while back I remember someone making a 2/7 or so serious comment about
using advanced cell phones and such for factoring. That idea was shot down
because of lack of computing power/download time + expenses.
What about some of the new gaming platforms. I think some

Because Space/Aliens/E.T./Sci-Fi/etc is popular and SETI lets

What about some of the new gaming platforms. I think some have computing
capabilities equivalent to P133s and they have modem hookups. However, I'm
not sure how feasible/worthwhile it would be to write progamrs to do this.
Better yet, the Xbox. It will actually have a PIII-733 inside it, AND a

I asked several coworkers and secretaries to let Prime95 (NTprime,
actually) run on their PCs and they agreed, but they were less than
happy when I asked them to change the pretty 3-d screen savers for
something
