OK OK so I didn't do it alone
I had help from 8,002,529 other people downloading Mozillas latest version of Firefox. I got this in my email today:
Download Day 2008
We did it!
We set a Guinness World Record for the most software downloads in 24 hours. With your help we reached 8,002,530 downloads.
You are now part of a World Record and the proud owner of the best version of Firefox yet!
Did you also help set this world record? (or any other for that matter?)

Although I wasn't a direct influence on this new record, I believe I was an indirect influence in this new record. I have for years spread the word of FF, and converted many IE users to FF lol, and so, I have to feel some pride about what I have done :D lol. Firefox is the best!

Well I didnt know there was a goal but I actually downloaded it a couple days ago. And I am glad I did it works much better then internet explorer for me. I have the occasional problem but not to bad.

Well I was one of the ones who downloaded the latest version of Firefox. I've used Firefox as one of my main browsers for quite a long time and I really like it. So, of course, when the new update came out, I had to have it!
Have a great weekend!
