Looking over our site stats I noticed soemthing. While it is no suprise that windows holds the highest numbers (54%), the number of windows users visiting the site with internet explorer is far far less. Maybe 15% of windows users actually surf this site with IE. The majority use Firefox or Chrome.

Also of interest, of all those windows users there is still someone using Windows 98. Really?? What? As much as I love 98, whoever you are, you really should upgrade.. And we cannot forget the iPad visitors or even the lone PS3 visitor. The average screen resolution of visitors is 1280x1024 at 25% with less than 1% still operating at less then 800x600.

To all you Mac addicts. If you are getting a new Mac this year and have nothing to do with your old one, we are in need of a Mac running any version of OSX. We can provide for shipping if need be, but beyond that it will have to be a donation (unless some well-to-do sole out there wishes to buy this project a new Mac for christmas). To the rest of us, if you have an Apple store near you, you can also help by asking if they have an older outdated machine they are willing to donate to this project, unless by chance one of the geeks that works/owns the store also happens to be a programmer.

Thats enough from me for this news outburst. Until next time!
