Awesome work! *cheers*

I am at 43k... still hoping to make it, because if I get this far and don't finish, that will be really, really sad.

CONGRATULATIONS! And *whew* about the scary near-compocalypse. I'd have had a FIT. Just won it this morning, and if I'd heard unusual beeping and seen a black screen, I think I'd have cried and hidden under my bed...
