ICQ downloaded over 200 million times!

Yep, ICQ has been downloaded from CNET's www.download.com over 200,000,000 times! Amazing.

I think this instant messaging thing might just catch on...

Oh, you only downloaded it six times? <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

I swear I've probably downloaded it more than that, given the wide number of computers I've worked on over the years. So maybe the exact number is as significant as the fact that it's been downloaded (from CNET) more than any other program, period.

I must be the odd ball, I've only downloaded the latest beta once. But I should add, for those other machines, I setup an ftp so I can get to it faster. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> On the ftp I've downloaded it at least 50X, so to add to the propagation of some we would need to do a Gausian Distribution and a Monte Carlo run to fathum its true meaning. <img src=icon_smile_evil.gif border=0 align=middle>
