Macko, you got BAD math-skills, if we have 5% then 19PCs for every 1 Mac

Pardon me if I missed the sarcasm in your post, but:

1 / 20 = 0.05 = 5%

 

[Ricky]

1 (The number of Macs)
Over
20 (The total number of computers [Macs AND PC's])

 

[voice-]

OK, I thought you meant 1 Mac for every 20 Wintel PCs

 

[lonny]

Keep 'em coming!

OSX 41%
Linux 31%
XP 28%

 

[AdmiralAK]

I just voted, adn we are at 41% boyz and galz --- ahead of both leenucks and windex

 

[Edge100]

5% = 1/20

Thus, for every 20 total computers, 1 of them is a Mac and 19 OF THEM ARE PCs!

Its like the line in The Beatles, "Taxman"

'...here's 1 for you, 19 for me...'

George is referring to the 95% tax bracket in which he and the other Beatles found themselves in 1966. 1 dollar (pound) for them, 19 for the "Taxman".

...sorry for the last post. I see the issue has been resolved above. Silly me for not reading the whole thing first!

Oh well, I still got my clever Beatles reference in there

 

[Nummi_G4]

Mac OS X is "more popular than Jesus".

Windows XP 4264 (26%)
Mac OS X 7074 (44%)
Some flavor of Linux 4849 (30%)

 

[Edge100]

Mac OS X is "more popular than Jesus".

An excellent Beatles reference "in [its] own write"

 

[joeth]

Yay! OS X is winning by MILES - as it SHOULD.

Okay okay, you got me. But it doesn't mean I'm BAD at math ... just didn't think about it literally.
