Every inhabitant of my home town would have had to download Firefox 200 times to equal this figure.

If I were to attempt to make Firefox look better on Download.com and use my old dial-up modem to download another three hundred million copies of Firefox, it would take me 3555555 days, or approximately 9741 years.

…or to be more exact: 0.40076 m or 1.3148 feet. Which, in my simulations, is a pretty tight que.

If each download represents one person, and all those people were to stand in a long line, the line would wrap once around the equator. (If each person takes up a space of 0.4 m, or just over 1 foot.

Well, let’s look at the list of countries sorted by area … none come close to 100 Mil square Km. (see here –> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L.....es_by_area )

You can see here, that the land surface is only a bit short of 149 Mil square Km. Firefox should reach that mark around april/may !!!

Cheers,
