 task. Ideally such data would be based on comprehensive and identical surveys in every country and such surveys would have been conducted on a regular basis over many years. However, such data does not exist and will not be available for a long time. The reason is that such surveys are too expensive to do for a single organization. If such data existed the price would only be affordable to the largest companies.

Instead there is a variety of survey data from many different organizations. These surveys use different methodologies and are primarily done in the major countries. Some surveys are excellent, some are fair and a few are actually misleading. The result is that there is lots of conflicting survey data and it takes a major effort and knowledge to determine what is good information and what is poor data and should be discarded dis·card

For Internet statistics the data starts in 1990 to 1994 depending on the country.

We started publishing computer statistics in 1986. At that time we were with Future Computing computing - computer , which was the leading market research company in the PC industry. Future Computing had collected the most PC industry statistics of any organization in the world. Over the next 15 years our country-specific computers-in-use statistics became the main source of such data. As the eight Computer Industry Almanacs Almanacs
