[Ham-Mac] PERCENT MAC USERS AMONG HAMS

[Ron Earl]

That may be more typical than Ham specific for web surfing. I just read 
an article last week were the Sony gaming web page that had been all PC 
only is converting over so that it will be truly MAC/PC for everything 
after they found in a survey that 25% of web surfers used MACs. They 
felt 25% of the web market was significant even though the overall 
market share for MACs was much lower.
