    I knew that was going to be good as soon as I saw the "pgut" in the URL,
    and the filename can be considered his certificate of quality.

    I'm only a quarter of the way in, and finding it the most refreshing
    thing I've read since...

    oh, what was the paper's name? ...

    hmmm, who was the author? ...

    Never mind ... let's keep reading ...

    Ah, yes - /Replication of Quantum Factorisation Records with an 8-bit
    Home Computer, an Abacus, and a Dog/ by Francois Grieu

    Bravo, Peter, bravo! And thanks for posting the link, Richard.
