I'm looking at stats from a typical, single page of a typical,
general-interest site, which has produced the following browser
hit records, as determined by analysis of FULL remote_host
environment variables.
I'm wondering whether this sounds typical to you:
(Switch to that old monospaced font, please)
Windows 3.1 Windows 95 Mac Total
Netscape 1.x 4803 209 456 5468
Netscape 2.x 9439 8197 3346 20982
Netscape 3.x 427 3364 287 4078
----- ----- ---- -----

MSIE 2.x 446 1569 -- 2015
MSIE 3.x -- 959 -- 959
MSIE 4.x? -- 328 -- 328

The page received a total of 49190 hits. This is based on
browser/operating system combinations with more than 150 hits.
Information was unavilable for less than 100 of the hits, so there's
a large group of very small combinations lurking out there. (Yes,
use of the Mozilla name by non-Netscape browsers was accounted for.)
Interestingly, 31% of the 49190 hits came with graphics turned off,
even though the server is a fast one and the graphics involved were
minimal.
I'm curious whether you folks are seeing some of the things I do
in these numbers, but I don't want to prejudice the discussion by
saying what it is that I see.
BTW, what the heck is MSIE 4.x?
