I checked my Dell warranty before doing this:
[url="http://www.eqsrecording.com/images/road-laptop.jpg"]http://www.eqsrecording.com/images/road-laptop.jpg[/url]
North Carolina to Louisiana to New Jersey and back total mileage: 3,493 miles.
Interesting data: Number of access points detected by netstumbler: lost count, several hundred.
10M digit Prime95 accomplishments: Finished one, factored a second, started LL on a third.

You donate some extra money so that the prize increases to the smallest prime > 100,000

. . . decide not to go to collage so you can buy 1 (or 10) new computers to add to GIMPS.
