Litecoin QT out of sync

I have heard of Bitcoins from time to time, but about 2 weeks ago I found a story about them on CNN Money and started researching them. Seems like an interesting concept, if you already have the hardware (Radeon GPUs) to mine with. The FPGA's and ASIC's are great at mining, but with increased cost and low to no availability, especially the ASIC's.

So I think it's kind of late in the game to get into Bitcoin mining, although it can be done. Litecoin seems to be the new up and comer, with more potential for someone just getting started in turning spare CPU / GPU cycles into dollars.
