Heh, well sort of, but I didn't exactly run the computer
day and night to get to 5 x 10^8. Once in a while, when
I'm logged in anyway, I check another interval and add
it to the web page. For no good reason I used a slower
server to begin with, otherwise I would have gotten this
far earlier. Checking [5 x 10^8, 6 x 10^8] on the faster
server right now...;-)
