Great article 
thank you for the link… Wonder if there is a way to alter the primecoin code so that it can get the really big digit prime numbers…hmmm now u got me thinking 
Good publicity, can’t complain about that!
I think the client could probably be altered to find incredibly long primes. The only problem is it could be weeks, months, or even years until a block is solved using consumer CPUs :o
