Seems to have been fixed now. Ah well.

Edit: No, wait, there are two mentions of the first program, to work out a factor, and I read the wrong one.

They're tricky things to find, these factors of prime numbers. That's why you need a computer.

Lots of people do this. If you google (with quotes) "factoring large primes" you'll see it all over the place. Drives me nutty.

“The first program was written by the late Tom Kilburn to work out the highest factor of a prime number”

Easy program to write, then... assuming that the user only inputs prime numbers... now I see the problem...

I saw a demostration of Baby a while back. They made a (simple) picture of a train move across the CRT.
