In preparation for shutting down SETI@home Classic (in about 1 month,
hopefully) we're trying to make sure that SETI@home Classic accounts
are linked to the proper SETI@home/BOINC account. This is a bit
complicated because of email address changes. See our current
transition plan.

I guess it's time to start preparing to run GIMPS.  So long,
SETI@home, it's been nice knowin' ya.

What is GIMPS?

The Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search.  Mersenne primes are
prime numbers of the form (2^n)-1.  The largest known currently is
(2^25,964,951)-1 and was found February 18, 2005.  GIMPS is a distributed
project to locate new Mersenne primes.  http://www.mersenne.org/prime.htm
has more information.
