palefish writes "From this article in the Media Guardian: According to Irish-based industry monitor Nua.com, Europe has almost 186 million users, while Canada and the US register 182 million. The difference may not seem substantial, but Europe is still a growing market. I've always thought of Europe as lagging somewhat behind the States in the internet uptake stakes (probably because some of our telecoms companies are yet to understand the internet). So, I don't know about you lot, but this statistic came as a bit of a surprise to me."

I would SERIOUSLY doubt this is true. Those of you who have web pages, look at your web stats, where are most people coming from? US probably. I know my webstats still show majority from US. I would like to know what this company based that research on, sounds really bogus to me.

The American flag bumper stickers help, but economics always favors areas with less threat of computer hacking.
