I would not feel comfortable saying this out loud. If there were 3 million XO laptops sold, I'd bet half of the ones still running run GNOME. Like you say, we don't know. <blockquote cite="mid:55292BB9.2020503@usa.net" type="cite"> After all, what is 'use'. Does this mean the number of laptops running Sugar at a specific instance of time, or at least one hour in a week, a month, a year or a laptop that is capable of running Sugar if turned on? How many Window 7 systems are in use? None of us know an answer to that question, but we know the number is large enough to warrant our spending our time as volunteers to make that experience as constructive and enjoyable as possible.</blockquote> This might have been a more constructive answer from you. Thank you. While it is important to support existing users, I am more concerned with the next 1000 million people who's freedom to act with computers is at stake. Sebastian </body> </html>
