What about all the Universities that have people surfing from machines 5
years old? Or Unix work stations running flavors like Linux, Solaris, Irix,
and *gasp* even Next? The most popular browser among faculty at Universities
is actually Netscape 4 on MacOS 9. Let's also not forget about the 50,000
K-12 school districts in the US that got most of their hardware donated from
companies scrapping their old computers or from big price breaks from Apple.
Netscape 4 owns the education market and that is a whole fucking lot of
people.

90% of real surfers are using level 5 browsers? Yeah right!
