Number of Computers Owned

---

Notes:

• Nearly half the sampled population report owning a single computer (46.1%).

• One in five respondents own three or more computers (20.2%).

• Since only 5.9% of all users report not owning a computer, it seems that those who have online access tend to own a computer. This follows common sense that people who spend a lot of time with computers tend to own at least one computer.

• European users are almost three times more likely (13.1%) not to own a computer than their US counterparts (4.9%).

Notes:

• Only 1.2% of Prodigy users did not own a computer, with almost one half (46.1%) owning a single computer and 29.1% owning two computers.

• The percent of Prodigy respondents that do not own a computer matches perfectly the number of users that do not subscribe to Prodigy (See: Graphs). One possible read of this is that there were 41 users who filled out the survey using Prodigy that do not own a computer or subscribe to Prodigy (the "over the shoulder respondents"). This provided a good sanity check of the numbers collected.

Notes:

• Women are twice as likely as men to not own a computer (9.7% female vs 5.2% male), and more likely to own only one computer (52.7% female to 44.5% male). This lends support to the conclusion that for this sampled population, women typically own fewer computers.
