Hi everyone, CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) News interviewed me on Friday about the discovery of M43, the current 9.1 million digit world record prime in GIMPS. Ars TPR member ma9mwah was nice enought to encode their low-quality web version of the interview into WMV format for me.

That's seriously pretty cool
Nice one DP.
Enjoy whatever fame you can.
Like an ol` 8086, slow but serviceable.
One advantage of old age...nobody can tell you how much cake you can eat
You must have been proud that they picked you to do it
But What no Plug for our team?
Sorry, wasn't able to plug the team . Speaking of which lauren, have you had a chance to visit the post office yet?
I guess the M43 news has been spreading more. I was called by another producer and this morning on the CBC Ontario (provincial-wide) radio show I did a live radio interview. That was pretty crazy, being so early in the morning, I hope I was awake enough to make sense.
I was proud to be selected but not suprised since I was one of the two people who ran an official verification of the number to confirm it was prime. Since I am the only Canadian in that group of people, it made sense for them to talk to me, lucky for me, hehe.
Yes I did I tried ups but they said you prob. would have to pay 35.00 on your side But they said if I just used USPS it might just come to you duty free
I posted it on 1/3 Sorry for the delay it is a madhouse here at our around Xmas
USPS should be fine. No problem at all.
That is awesome!!!! Congrats, well done!
Wow... very well spoken you are.
