I won't even ATTEMPT to provide my own figures, because I think it would just be guessing--which is what I think Chuqui did. I doubt if those figures of his bear any significant relationship to reality in the real net world. Without more accurate data, trying to draw conclusions like that is simply a waste of time. Let's try again when we have REAL data to work with. --Lauren--
