[Web4lib] How many computers...?

[Bill Teschek]

Ours is determined largely by the amount of space we have in which to put them, 
as well as a not-so-easy-to-quantify sense of whether or not people are waiting 
too long to be seated.

As for usage trends, 2005 was the first year since we started offering the 
service that our usage actually went down. Not much, but most years were a big 
increase. I think it's largely due to more people owning their own computers 
now.
