Just over a million to go.
People, johnn & PinkPenguin in particular, may want to think about revising their guesses.

The tally at 9pm was 445K short so at current rates 1am might actually be a better bet.

Just checked and the tally at 10pm was was still 340k short. :? I'll move my guess to 2am on the 7th and turn the internet off to save me sitting up watching all night!

Only 203K left to do. So I don't think it'll be an all-nighter - unless MacD really does switch the internet off :shock: - but 1 am is now the most likely time of triumph.

After midnight and 53K to go. I think Mr Thinhead can start to feel quietly confident.

Amazing. I've won something. :D But the 2,000,000,000 is something much bigger, and my contribution to that is tiny.

In other words, I think a well done all round is called for.
