Before this gets out of hand, I suggest those who are interested
watch for the ~monthly postings that Linus puts out regarding the Usenet
readership of comp.os.linux. These are quite interesting, actually. From
memory, I think the estimated readership of comp.os.linux was ~40,000.
As for how many BBS users, and non-internet users, well.... ?????
But millions??? C'mon folks. At least not for another year ;-)
Regards,
Paul.
