The User Information menu choice lets you change your name and email address. Your name will be used in credits and
"top producers" web pages.
Your email address may be used to send you a newsletter once every few
months. Select the "Receive
occasional newsletters..." checkbox to enable these emails. The userid you use will appear in the status
pages on the PrimeNet server. You can
also set the ComputerID field if you have several computers and want to keep
track of which computers produced which results. You can create a team by choosing the "Create a
team..." checkbox. The user name
you entered becomes the team name and a message is sent to the server which
prevents the team name from changing.
Thus, you can handout the userid and password for others to join your
team and these team members are not able to accidentally or maliciously change
the team name that appears on the statistics page.
