I am interested in the gender of the majaority of computer buyers.  As
well as, Age group, Education level, and Income.  Do the majority of
buyers tend to share any other characteristics?

Wilcut,

The results of my search are as follows:

Thanks!  Great answer!!

Very suprising results regarding age and gender, I would have assumed
males aged 25 to 35 would be the largest group of computer buyers.

Very interesting.

The person buying the computer may not be the person wanting or using it.
