That is one slow computer.

I really doubt.
Maybe the 22M will be finished by then, but not the milestone.
The other missing exponent, 23480917, is progressing very slowly, if at all at the moment, and I don´t believe it will be finished by the end of the year. :drama: LOL...

You're probably correct...it is also 17 days late in updating.

Entry says "Compaq Sempron" but we have no way of knowing how many hours per day

True. Still, it's taken more than a year so far.

Countdown to proving M(24036583) is the 41st Mersenne Prime: [B]1[/B].

Perhaps we shall achieve a milestone in time for Christmas as we did last year.

[QUOTE=NBtarheel_33;279573]Perhaps we shall achieve a milestone in time for Christmas as we did last year.[/QUOTE]If you look at all of the past milestones, it seems that George is willing to make that sort of thing happen. (Or someone else is impatient.)

How about this week.
Someone "assisted" the abandoned exponent and finished it.
The active (albeit very slow) assignment is expected in a couple days.
