I can go down to the computer rooms after 8:00PM and fire it up on 50 machines 
no problem. A slightly modified parallelknoppix would let it run on whatever 
number of machines is available. Here I could use around 150 or so with the 
permission of a single administrator. Actually, maybe I'll try it out just 
for fun. Anyone have a function they would like me to do a Monte Carlo study 
on? Michael
