It's not a composite, either. And there are already many cases where

in many more theorems) is not much worse that having it in a special
weird category of its own.
It's just terminology.

That Pr1me had
a Unix emulation layer is news to me (I think). I
worked on the Georgia Tech Software Tools Subsystem for Pr1me
Computers for several years. (Oh, how I wish I had saved that last
release tape!!!)
What I hated about Pr1me was they implied that "1" is prime; it is
not, as any mathematician will tell you.
