I differ to Warren on this one.  We're using "updates" based on his 
recommendation.  He had good reasons, I just forgot them.

Way too complicated.  Who cares where the browser IP is, they could be 
getting links for a box that is half a country away from them ( I 
constantly do ).  A simple mirror list split by geographical region, 
allowing the end user to pick their place would be best.

I like that name too, works for me.

Don't know for sure.

Instead of a graph, how about a simple timeline that has the events 
rather than dates.
