Yes....it's very difficult.   I agree with your idea you mentioned last.  
Anyway I joined TLUG team as tetsuji@example.com and 
caq23050@example.com (one for Linux, the other for Win98).   I have a 
Pentium II 333MHz machine, but run only 4 or 5 hours a day.  Up to now cracked 
about 1100 blocks in 20 days.

Thanks.  I could find how to get my password.   But I wonder why I cannot find 
TLUG team status by searching with "tokyo" or "linux" as the search key word.

Best regards.....
