Browser use statistics

[Thomas Dowling]

I know of two library-related servers have browser statistics:  see
http://www.ohiolink.edu/cgi-bin/browsers.pl and
http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/browsercount.pl  I find it interesting
that the Berkeley SunSITE consistently shows a more diverse browser
population (and one closer to industry-wide estimates) than our site, which
is Netscape-heavy.

BTW, usability under Lynx is more a function of good HTML than of following
any browser-specific hacks.
