Interesting concept: get a bunch of people together who all have at least
a 1.3Ghz P-III (or AMD equivalent) laptop with at least 256MB RAM and a
100baseT network connection and hook them all together to try to get onto
the list of the world's 500 fastest supercomputers:

Maybe I'm behind the times, but I don't think that many people can afford
such a laptop right around now.
