	     Has anyone seen this statistic anywhere else?  Can this
	be substanated by information from a known published source?
	[I'm not questioning its correctness at all, just that  it's
	>REALLY<  hard to believe {for me} that it's SOOOOOOooooo...
	!*LOW*!]

	     Is there another statistic  for  computer  owners  WITH
	modems?  [id  est:  Are there any computer/modem owners that
	don't use their modem more than a hour a  week,  or  is  the
	above statistic just that?]
