Hey shpuntick,
This is Don Eisenhour, the one with the 5.8 million high score. I can tell you that it certainly took a long time. I can also tell you that I'm just a little disappointed that the score was deleted from the high score board recently, but I'm working on that.
As for my view on the game, tips, and high scores I've posted most of what I know at:

This is the Plazmic website under BrickBreaker Forum and my thread is "BrickBreaker Basics."
From out of the web,
Don.
