 * From: Warner Losh <imp@village.org>

 * The first 5 perfect numbers are:

 *          6
 *         28
 *        496
 *      8,128
 * 33,550,336

Gentlemen, you heard Warner.  Our goal is to get to the next perfect
number before the next century, ok?  (Steve, Chris, Bill, are you guys
ready?)

 * So we're not quite past all of the "small" pefect numbers just yet.  I 
 * can imagine a time when FreeBSD will have 8128 ports, but can't
 * imagine Asami-san with over 33 million to manage :-)

Hey, what do you mean!  I could be a perl script by then!

 * http://www.sciencenews.org/sn_arc97/1_25_97/mathland.htm
 * provides some history and information on this topic, as well as lots
 * of links.

Interesting reading.  (If there is a guy with a name that starts with
"Eu" on the list, please contact me.  I have an assignment for you.)

Satoshi

P.S. Why didn't you tell me before Warner, there were 250 ports when I
     took over so we could have had a celebration at 496....
