O'Connor" * Satoshis Law.. The quantity of ported software will double every 18 months..? * * *run* Not sure why you're running, but that's pretty much the case for the last three years. 2000/01 2,966 1998/06 1,483 1997/02 800 1996/02 400 1995/02 200 It seems it was doubling every 12 months until 800 ports, and then slowed down to about 2x every 18 months. By the way, at this rate (*), we'll reach 10,000 ports in 31 more months. That will be around July or August of 2002, so get ready for a mid-summer (or mid-winter for those in .au and .za) celebration.
