One thousand, five hundred, and eighty days. 37,920 hours. 2,275,200 minutes. 136,512,000 seconds. After over five years of waiting, Kerm Martian has reached the major milestone of 500,000 direct downloads from his profile on ticalc.org. Only thirteen other people in the world have achieved this impressive feat; Kerm Martian is the 14^th most downloaded calculator programmer on Earth, and number 1 most prolific on ticalc.org. Based on informal surveys, he has an estimated 1:4 direct to indirect downloads, indicating that peer-to-peer sharing of his programs has led to possibly upwards of two million copies of hsi programs worldwide. This works out to one direct download on average once per 273.024 seconds, or once every four and a half minutes. Indirect downloads bring this to around one download per minutes for over five years. With the upcoming release of several groundbreaking Cemetech / Kerm Martian programs and projects, we look forward to a sharp uptick. Congratulations!
