Browser use statistics

[emiller at smtpgwy.isinet.com]

     I can't speak for the rest of the world, but we have been collecting 
     user statistics that include the browser type since late April and our 
     split is approximately 75% Netscape, 12 % Internet Explorer and 13% 
     other. The "other" category is split, but from what I can tell, only 
     .5% are accessing our site with Lynx.
     
     Form what the company systems people say, they were surprised, as they 
     have heard that Internet Explorer should have a much higher 
     percentage. All I can tell you is this is what my report tells me.

I am looking for statistics on use of Web browsers from the popularity 
of various versions of Netscape and Internet Explorer to lynx.  Today 
I was chided for considering how a Web page would look in lynx and I was told 
t"only 5% of Internet users use lynx and the number is dwindling"
