    You have to be download 25 billion but there's also a non purchase option there where you fill in an entry form. Worth a try sher!

    I wonder if the download clock on that site is accurate. I'm biding my time here waiting patiently until I start to make my move! :)

    Looks like it's 2 1/2 days away..probably 2 days away if it gets a lot of advertising. Although I could be wrong!

    It's doing about 20 - 35 million a day! There's still over 500 million to go! It should be towards the end of March at the earliest!
