(this point is so critical; it demonstrates success and gives people something 
to be a part of. we should be repeating it in every presentation we give to 
potential users imho.)


(i really need to get back to doing some research to see when we can 
legitimately start claiming 100 million users. 52 million kids in Brazil  
leaves us another 48 million to find. ;) 300k in Gran Canaria schools; 1+ 
million retail units / year in Brazil and fwiu Argentina; >10% of desktop in 
China which would be 4-5mm this year, though our market share in China has 
been eroding from a high of ~17% iirc to ~12% the other year; 8-12% of 
gov/business desktops in Germany a few years back... we could be getting quite 
close to that magic 100mm mark.)
