households at 22.7 million, up 1.8 million from December of 1993,
which was estimated at 20.8 million. Our estimate in early '95 of

Although roughly 20% of U.S. households owned a PC in the early
1990's, very few were using any type of online service

?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.?
