Hey Everyone: Germany and Switzerland? How about this Guy from Canada who lurks in the background? He speaks 3 languages and uses Oo in a machine that boots Win XP (2 versions) and Fedora 12 (Linux) and shares about 4.24 Tb. Of data! -Just because Canada has such a low population density!! Over here, mobility is a big thing too. If a team of businessmen, for example, needed to go from Montreal to Toronto, and take their car or the train, they would probably like to have their laptops running on the way. The ride from Montreal to Toronto will preoccupy them for at least 6 hours (if they avoid the rush hours) and the train about 4 or 5 (depending on which run.) Some of the train cars are equipped with Wi-Fi also. (Add to that a lot of students.) In eastern Canada, Rogers provides a lot of that type of service. In Western Canada, I hear more of Telus. If you are too remote for cable or DSL, there is satellite service ($$$). So much for now - I have to go about 40 Km North to a client today, so I am getting ready.

Really! - 24 emails a day. The germanophone ML, so let's just make it easy and figure Germany, Austria and Switzerland as the locales from which the majority of the list user pool comes from. Pulling a number from the air let's say 12.5 million users, give or take. (sound about right?) For that user community there has been active support from at least 2 web forums for quite a while, Also a strong support base from independent vendors in those countries. For the anglophone ML then Australia, UK, US let's say 28 million users in the pool, give or take. Run the numbers for the list Feb 2007 - Jan 2008 - 85/day Feb 2008 - Jan 2009 - 56/day Feb 2009 - Jan 2010 - 29/day 2007 to 2008 change could be , I suppose, the user.services forum coming on-line, oooForum has remained active giving the en user pool 2 web forums, matching the de community, and 56 emails per/day seems about right then ratio wise. 2009, I don't know.
