Abstract
The Internet has changed the face of computing. The use of e-mail and desktop video-conferencing has made collaboration between people very easy and very natural. Application-sharing technology, such as that provided by Microsoft’s NetMeeting, allows a single application to be accessed by a group of people at different locations. The Internet likewise enables collaboration between computers — the Distributed.net activity [1] harnesses spare computing power on the Internet to tackle mathematical tasks that otherwise could hardly be contemplated.
