Missed it by 295 years - 500 thousand years that is. Still, half a million years is a LOT of time. WCG does over 300 years a day so making it tomorrow will be no problem. This is the thread for it in the chat room: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread_thread,31442

Yes got a bit ahead of myself there but yes looks like bang on prediction , 24/25th August was mooted as reaching 500k. A great achievement. 499869 at last update....131 years to go in 12hrs!!!! Trying to crank it up!!

..........................CONGRATULATIONS brown chris ON REACHING 21,000,000 MOT POINTS !!!..........................

Update on remodel: This morning we had someone from the BestBuy Geek squad come out to set up our Bose entertainment system, and boy, does it make a difference having the speakers connected instead of using what came with the Philips TV. I am really starting to enjoy what we are getting via DIRECTV now. I think I liked the HD channel setup on Dish Network much better, but I am signed up for 2 years of DIRECTV now. If they do not improve the channels they provide, I will be going back to Dish in 2 years.

On another item, we have been going through all of the stuff we have collected for some number of years. We will either discard a lot of it, or donate it to some places which Lynda, my wife, has already made some donations.
