Help this distributed computing project by donating CPU cycles to find primes of the form 121*2^N-1.

Article discusses the "early days" (pre-1998) of distributed computing projects, explains the basics of how they work and how to get them to work well, describes some early successes, and considers how CPU cycles may someday become a commodity to be bought, sold or traded.
