i have a degree in statistics and have fairly strong analysis skills. i was attempting dialogue about a topic. i'm not really in need of your advice on the nature of blogs or doing my research according to your problems with what I am attempting to do mrtennis,. plus you can get a piece of paper and a short pencil stub and divide to get your percentage of the population 100,000 represents. or if challenged get a calculator. most people with some education can figure this one out in their head. i asked for a suggestion on demograpic site for data from the consumer electronics industry. good grief, some people....
