There is well over 80 million Macintosh computers alone connected to the internet and Windows is atleast twice that amount. Also the US has more than 22 million users, the internet was been around since the early 60's and 90% of the internet is from the US as most backbone providers are based in the US.

334,659,631 estimated north america population of internet users in 2008 which is 71% of the American population. Also of those 334 Million+ 72,313,313 have a braodband connection. It is true that the real world population of china is higher than the US but as far as online users, no this is incorrect.
Again 90% of the backbone comes from the US even if you do live in another country as most data centers are in the US.

I think that is wanderful. I know alot of people rely on the internet for alot of things. They like to search for things or sell things or just surf the internet and visit social networking sites also. There is so many opportunities online for all of us. It is alot cheaper than going out somewhere to entertain ourselves also.

you sure are right about the opportunities offered by the internet,i believe the population of users will increase tremendiously in th next 5 years,it means more market exposure for our business
