Yeah. I got a PIII 550 right here! This sucker sits here doing nothing a
LOT! If someone can make a background app that picks key ranges from a
website that haven't been used yet, then my computer sat here and tried a
bunch of codes while it was doing nothing... I could help make a dent in
this! And if we got most people to do this...! Yeah it takes a long time,
but who knows? We may get lucky...
