You might want to take a look at our July stats page at
http://www.webrary.org/mgpl/statspublic.html.  We don't have a huge number
of hits (200-300/day), but our stats program is set up to group Explorer
and Netscape, which account for about 78% of hits (Lynx is 3.55%), by
version and platform (Mac or Win) -- Explorer 3 Mac, Netscape Windows 4,
etc.  We did this to help us determine which of the newer HTML tags to
utilize in an upcoming redesign of our site.
