[QUOTE="spectre72, post: 2082897, member: 18885"] According to the last numbers I saw from 2003 over 59% of Americans are online, and those statistics mimic the people I know fairly well. Even my parents who hate computers have bought one and get e-mail and surf the net. What do you mean by the majority of people in the US are not online, and do you have a source for your statement? Not trying to be inflamatory but it always makes me wonder as an IS professional where people get this type of impression of internet use in the US. Perhaps only a small percentage are on Broadband but that is changing and even in rural Vermont I have a cable modem. I will agree though that many gamers, even those who are online, do not use online resources for their gaming. Out of our group of close to 15 players only one or two others use the internet to get info and all of them are online. [/QUOTE]
