Ah... To be young again!

Thank you for your work. It has helped a lot.

Now we who only have Colab to help us get up to 81 bits. A steep hill...

Sucks to be us...

P.S. Humor can be a subjective thing. Not all get that... 9^)

I am hardly young, just unencumbered.

I'm old enough to remember when Slashdot didn't have threading in the comments.

Can yo turn the crank again so the colab stuff can get sent to PrimeNet?

I hope you're not planning on bailing out of here completely! This would be a loss to many.

I've been coming and going. I first participated in the project anonymously over two decades ago.

I'll probably keep my quad cores in storage for the future. I wouldn't get much if I sold them.

I started in 2005 running small jobs on a single core Celeron. When my dad became ill with cancer in 2010, I moved back home to watch over him. A rural area with no internet service. After he passed away in 2011, I stayed on to look after the place, keeping the yard mowed, and so on. I fashioned a TV antenna with aluminum wire, so I had that. I didn't get back to the internet world until late 2014. A little over four years I was away from here.

Quad cores: When I built this system in 2018, I didn't know what a "K" behind i7-7700 meant so I didn't get one. New ones are just as pricey now as they were then. There is always eBay, but how does a person know if they are legit and functional?

Mark is still running one machine, doing P-1 on 100Mdigit exponents. Given what he's said, I'm not sure
even that will persist after the end of this month.

I just looked at my Colab files on their site. I haven't used them since 2020. Perhaps I got tired of the short runs and being cut off. I might give it a try on another machine and see how it behaves now.
