: So what are those numbers? :)

The first 5 perfect numbers are:

         6
        28
       496
     8,128
33,550,336

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 :-)
