   Hmm, pretty good, stuff in 2001 was faster than I remembered.  But that   
   was a state of the art machine.  I think I was mostly using a 600 mhz   
   Pentium III at the time.  I might not have even gotten that though.   
   Before that, I had a 233 MHz Pentium MMX.   
      
   I had actually thought of the Euler project as going back further, like   
   to the 386 era if not before.  So I was mistakeningly envisioning stuff   
   like PC-XT's.
