Seven Years of Seventeen or Bust!
Happy seven-year anniversary of the Seventeen or Bust project!
In a way, it's hard to believe we launched 7 years ago today in 2002.
Anyone have any favorite memories of the search so far? The Christmas primes? The excitement during a particular announcement (is it MY computer?)? The sieve clients coming out? Factoring? The addition of the new clients this past month??
It's definitely been an exciting ride so far and I hope to have some interesting future innovations to make things even more exciting. As always, thanks for being a part of Seventeen or Bust. What has been your favorite part of the search so far?
Cheers,
Louie

Happy Birthday SoB!
Near the bottom of the front page is the line "After 5 years of computation, we have eliminated 11 multipliers: eleven down, six to go." Perhaps the 5 should be updated to reflect the past two years' worth of computation.
Good call! Done.
Cheers,
Louie
