ok, ok, ok, here's the graph

Pretty much since the day we released Firefox 1.0 people have been asking me to post a graph of the downloads and not just occasional postings of the total download number.

Well, unfortunately, and unlike with the PR, I haven't been recording the download numbers with any consistency. So here's what I've done. I've scoured all the little scraps of paper, post-its, backs of envelopes, napkins, and other garbage sitting at my desk and then I culled through all of my blog posts and any other posts and articles out there on the web that mentioned download totals and from all of this data, I was able to reconstruct a farily reasonable representation of our download trajectory since the release.

It's not perfect, but it's also not far off and it's a pretty sweet line.
