I've heard that claim before, but I've yet to be convinced that those making it were doing more than speculating. It is not unreasonable to believe there are millions of bot drones, but that is not the same as an army under a single or even coordinated control structure. It is entirely possible to build armies of that size, but maintaining them over any length of time is probably quite difficult. I'd of course be interested to hear about any evidence to the contrary on or off list.

I know I haven't seen any 1MM+ zombie armies out there and I'm looking for them. Why spend all that time getting 1MM bots when you only need 100K? -M<
