Don, The 50-60% number is "households with a computer", and I actually believe it is a bit higher than most in the industry use today. Lots of things in those numbers to make one suspect: (Translating into percentages here, rather than the mythical "people"): 6% of the worlds population owns 59% of the assets. OK I buy that. All of those 6% are from the US. Not even remotely possible. US population is approximately 250 million, World population approximately 6 billion. Only 4% of the world's people live in the US in the first place! I could go deeper, but that should give you an idea of the number's accuracy... mg
