RC>not to have broadband much less the internet.

That is the Figure for the Interent Users YES. And that is the ONLY
figure that makes any semse. Why should those that Don't even own a
Computer or choose not to use the internet even be mentioned in things
when you are talkling about Broad Band penetration.
 OF course they don't have IT as they have NOTHING to use it for.

RC>But arent you the one who thinks 95% of the population can get by with DOS?


That wasn't of the Population. IT was 95% of the "TYPICAL" computer
users. And even then it was a little Tounge in Cheek.
