How did you learn about the project?

Citrix · 2004-11-10, 21:15

I am just curious that how most people learned about the project. If a approach worked the best, it will help us attract more users, that way. Please post below on how you got to know about the project. Also mention if there was a particular website that had a link to the project.

Thanks,
Citrix

I was aware of the project from visiting Mersenneforum, but didn't actually get involved at all until Mystwalker prodded me into installing the software.
Until then I didn't realise how easy it was to set it up.

The nice things about the project are it has a definite goal that can be acheived in the forseeable future, and that it is still possible for old machines to make a reasonably useful contribution. I think anyone interested in GIMPS should find this project interesting too.

I just found his companion: http://www.piratgruppen.org/forum/im...552306c450.gif

Maybe we can get Xyzzy to adopt him? ;)
