That's what I think is interesting. Forget the other 90% for now. For every "you" there are 6 Windows 95 users. These are users that could easily be converted. They're 4 upgrades behind (98, 98se, ME, XP) and probably don't want to shell out $500 for a new computer. They're most likely trained to do what they do on their computer and feel comfortable with doing it. An upgrade is long over due (8 to 5 years old). james_jennison@earthlink.net wrote: >All I know is I have Linux installed on all of my machines, except for my >laptop.
