• An estimated 25 to 30 million people use the Internet. (more like a billion today).
• University students and staff comprise a high percentage of users (most receive free accounts).
• Most users have some computer savvy since they are on the Internet.
• There is a higher ratio of men to women.
• Commercial users account for more than 50% of all users.
• E-mail is the most-often used Internet tool.

Caveat: Demographics can be misleading:

• Non-active members (people who sign on once or twice but continue to pay their monthly bill), are counted.
• People who have very specific uses (perhaps just Email), get counted.
• Some people register, but give their accounts to others with marketing demographics that differ than theirs.
