Great job, man! Out of curiosity, does the client do anything different when it finds the prime, like display animated fireworks on the screen, or something?

No, actually it was found days ago, but I got a email from David Norris today asking me to call him about the seventeen or bust project, so I did and he told me my computer found one and if it was ok to post my name on the website

Big congrats :D

Congratulations to Sean DiMichele (SeanD) of team Anandtech, whose 2.2 GHz P4 machine reported the prime after 3 hours 36 minutes of computation.

WTG This shows that every little, or bigger in this case ;), computer helps. Sean and our litttle TeAmis now mentioned in historybooks.
