Oh well, hell, I don't use the DVD writer that we have
all that much anyway. But I want a FAAAAAST computer. With
the advent of the 2+ GHz processors, the mathematical
expectation of winning the 100k$ prize for the first
10 million digit prime (running GIMPS 24-7) exceeds the
cost of the electricity used by the computer. Plus of
course the computer itself instantly becomes a museum
piece, with a value in itself of perhaps 20k-25k$.
Someone offered to buy the 100MHz Pentium 1 on which
the 37th Mersenne prime was discovered for $10k. The
indignant owner told him to get real. {8^D
