After roughly 1000 hits to the 10best web page, here are the statistics.
This isn't a survey of everyone that uses pov but everyone who visited
one web page, albeit a very large sample. I hope this note isn't
completley off topic, as it has implications on everything from IRTC
requirements to making web sites which are povvie-friendly.

Interesting points:
a) 88% useWindows, which surprised me, I expected it would be half at
most for such a tecchie community like this. (One of my issue-oriented
web pages had 94% of visitors from Windows users.)

b) Only 21% use 800x 600, with most much higher-- again a surprise, I
would have guessed this to be like 80% or more. (My issue-oriented page
had 65% at 800x 600 or lower).
