Michael, I am not basing any decisions on this or any other study alone. I merely presented it because I believe the worldwide computer ownership rate was approximately what was revealed in the study. My only interest is (1)the trend of computers becoming more pervasive in our lives, and (2)the fact that we are far from reaching any kind of saturation point. The other statistics I included since they were part of the original post. FWIW, I too question whether 6% of the population owns 59% of the wealth. In this case however, that has nothing to do with my own 2 points of interest. BK
