Re:Fascinating analysis but one point of contention. How do we get 6 people from the US but only 1 owns a computer. I thought the US number was about 50-60%, which means 3 out of 100 would own a computer based on US contribution alone. Still - it makes a very good point. What's the cliche...there are lies, big lies, and then statistics? Another apparent oddity: Doesn't it seem odd that of the 6 that own 59% of the wealth, but have only ONE computer between them also only have ONE college diploma between them (or only one college education, more accurately) I think something strange happened when these numbers were "distilled" down to 100, huh?? Either that...or were perpetuating yet another lame urban legend. Regards...Bill S
