Hi--

Of our 4500 or so members, just over 2100 have registered for the
members site. That is the number that my estimate was based upon.

If you Google 'internet usage by age', you'd find:

internet users?  Are there data to support the quoted statement or is it 
a WAG?  If data exist, please publish here.

>> Agreed, there are flaws in any survey, but still the survey taken from club rosters by club officials would be much more accurate then relying on each person to answer a survey. Our club has 52 memberships, single and family, 4 do not list an email address and two have non-working email addresses. All are CORSA members. That puts the percentage at 88%. Is this typical? Maybe not, but it is probably pretty close. Gary Moore
