Delta Medallion Miles

I have never had any before, just regular skymiles. I now have some. What exactly are they and what do the give me that skymiles don't give me? I can't find a definition on delta.com

Thanks!
Debi

Medallion Qualification Miles (MQM) count toward annual elite qualification (Silver, Gold or Platinum Medallion). This chart lists the benefits and annual MQM required for each tier:

MQMs (EQMs on other airlines - for Elite Qualifying Miles) determine elite level for the next year. You can collect them over a calendar year - from Jan 1 to Dec 31. On new year's day, you are back to zero.

If you can get 25,000 MQM before Dec 31 of this year, then you'll become a medallion member from the day you cross the MQM threshold to Feb 28, 2009.

You cannot spend MQMs, and they have no value. Only for elite-qualifying purpose.

What? I don't like I'm in my 20's anymore? Huh!? I'm so offended!

[Anyways, I started flying in 1971, so I guess I can't be in my 20's anymore. ]

Here are the flights I've taken that I can substantiate:
