Hello telleroftales-ga,


Net Demographics — The UCLA Internet Report 
By Sebastian Rupley  
February 25, 2003

Percentage of US Households with at least one PC   67.6% 
Percentage of US Households with two PCs           25% 
Percentage of US Households 3 or more PCs          10%  

“A recent research report from The Yankee Group found that 67.6
percent of US households in 2002 contained at least one PC, and the
investigators foresee three-quarters of all US households containing
PCs by 2007. The UCLA study found that surprising numbers of
households have more than one PC. And, in cases where more than one PC
is present, the home computers are often networked.”

“Specifically, more than 25 percent of the respondents in the UCLA
study reported having multiple PCs at home, and nearly 10 percent
claimed three or more. Of the participants with more than one system,
32 percent had networked the machines.”
