How Many Admins Per User/Computer Have You Seen?

When searching around, I can't find that many examples or any statistics. We manage around 900 computers (mostly Windows XP) and 25+ servers (mostly Linux). There are around 2600 users of varying knowledge, mostly pretty low. I can't find any statistics on this, so real-world examples are very welcome since we do this with one sysadmin (me) and two sneaker techs. Are we seriously understaffed, or is this normal?"

Did you even bother to read his post?

If you properly plan your implementations, there shouldn't be a need for many admins..
Seriously, you shouldn't have even been able to leave 2nd grade with such piss poor reading comprehension skills.
