I really love our statistics page.  In fact, it may be one of my favorite pages anywhere.   I really like checking how many FurnishWEB users are currently online (145 right now and 622 in the past 24 hours).  Its really cool!

But yesterday our lead developer, Jeff Roberson, pointed out to me during a Skype chat a fact I'd overlooked:

Jeff: Hey Barry.  Have you looked at the stats page recently?

Barry: Yes.  Look most every day, why?

Jeff: Our clients sales are over 1/2 billion dollars?

Barry: You're kidding, right?  I mean, that's a lot! 

Jeff:  Nope.  Its true.  Check it out:

Jeff: See.  That is sweeet.  You should blog about that.
