If you think that I am just making this up and that I did not really get
32,000 hits yesterday, take a look at the following three web sites:

http://shell15.ba.best.com/getusage.cgi?name=ishipres

http://shell17.ba.best.com/getusage.cgi?name=samsloan

http://shell17.ba.best.com/getusage.cgi?name=elieshoh

Go to the bottom of each page and add the numbers up.

I believe that by this time tomorrow, I will have had around 40,000 hits on
all three sites combined, because I just opened a new Internet account
(~elieshoh) last night.
