Re: Favorite Resolution and Browsers

I agree with Fuzzy. The stats generalize huge differences among various
types of Web sites. I run an educational site with heavy school and
library use and my stats are similar to the ones below. And my Web
design business site shows about 30% of users to be on a Mac -- quite a
difference from the general stats.

Also bear in mind that a small *percentage* could represent millions of
actual users.
