That Prime95 program I've been using to test the stability of my PCs over the past 2 decades is also used to find prime numbers? Who knew?

Does this mean longer shipping times?

if you'd have just left it running the whole time instead of just testing maybe you'd have found this number!

Now that you mention it, I do remember a message about a prime number being found after running a test for several hours a few years back. I was so upset that a message popup would stop my stability test like that. It said something like "Prime number M63BLAHBLAHBLAH found". I ignored the message of course, as anyone would. The test had to be started ALL over again. What a waste of my time.
