The 5 million sold is not 5 million sold of CM9K, it is life-to-date number of
all CM versions.  I am not sure how they get that number, but I am sure somebody
was keeping records.

I would be interested in hearing some of what the actual numbers are - but for
current programs - we're talking "000's" and not "000,000's".  The "000's" are
for the best sellers.  CM9K would be a higher than any other program and could
be substantially higher.  I just don't know.
