Competition

Andy Bower-3
Folks,

Here's a competition for you. The first person to guess how many
donations have been made by Community Edition users since we released
the product in January will win a rather stylish white polo shirt
embroidered with the original Object Arts logo.

In the event of no one guessing the exact number we'll send the shirt
out to the person with the nearest guess. If two people guess the same
number, then we'll take the first one posted. Answers to this thread
please.

PS: As a clue, to work out how many copies of DCE are out there, we are
seeing around 15 new downloads per day.

PPS: As a further clue, the answer is probably smaller than you think.

Best regards,

That's my guess too.  Now that you have choosen the number before me, I can
record my choice without risking the polo shirt ;-)

Hey, what's wrong with the polo shirts?  I've got one and do wear it
occasionally .  Hmmm, maybe that proves your point, my sense of
sartorial splendour is rather skewed :-)
