Okay, okay, okay.....figger it out.  Mac's can't run FrontDoor, nor most of 
the other nodelisted mailers, right?  But.......

Clearly "XW" nodes are Macs.  Soooooo......you find the number of Macs, and 
it is a statistically sound "guess" to assume that the rest of the non-PC 
population won't exceed the Mac population, since it is the second most 
popular platform and at the rock bottom, as it is.  I suppose there is room 
for a little error, but what does it matter?  We're still talking gross 
minority, which is the point of it all.  Just like horses and buggies 
......
Now....go count the suckers your own self and see if I counted wrong.
