Then again, 8.3% of everybody using a computer on the web is a whole lot of people using Apple's flavor of Unix. And, since Apple's laptops and desktops have been selling like hotcakes, more and more people are learning how to use Unix every day...

(BTW, I just have to mention that I've never used anything but OS X or Linux on my PPC-based machines. I'm fairly sure that most Apple PPCs still out there today are running OS X.)
