Bingo... I can't remember the number, but it's rather high percentage of people that only check email and read news. This was a few years back, it include the dialup and cafe people and it truly was a staggering majority of the people, so with facebook today as a integrated thing, it has to be off the chart.

This doesn't cause trouble just for the netbooks, in my opinion. These are extreme bottles necks of traffic that swallow up and contain people for years, basically making it rather hard for our Industry to reach these people.
