The Race is On

OK...Today is the big day. Mozilla is trying to set the all time record for most downloads in a 24 hour period. Of course, it is all about downloading the brand new, now official, Firefox 3.0. They were supposed to start at 10:00 AM PDT, but there were technical difficulties. The problems were fixed and the site came on-line at 11:15. So you have until 11:15 tomorrow morning to be a part of the record...and of course, get their great new release.

For no good reason, even though the version of Firefox I have is the same as the official release, I went ahead and did it anyway. If you have waited to download Firefox's new release, today is a good day to do it and be a part of the record (maybe).

To download Firefox 3, go to:

To check the counter too see how many downloads have occurred go to:

http://downloadcounter.sj.mozilla.com/

As I write these words, the count is around 1.6 million (including me) which is about 8,000 downloads per minute.

Why do I feel so silly?
