[BC] An interesting statistic, 50 Million users

Yes! Every time you read or hear, "statistics prove…," you know that the following words are BS. Statistics can never prove anything. They are simply a demonstration mechanism that displays weighted data.

I remember a documentary on an educational channel showing the correlation between cancer deaths and high-tension power lines. It ignored completely the petroleum refineries and hazardous waste dumps in the area of interest, Bayonne, New Jersey! At the time, you couldn't park your automobile there overnight without the paint corroding.

Cheers,

Just had to go back and re-look at this one. How could it only take 4 
years for email when it took 16 years for them to get the computer in 
the first place. :/
