Even better - show the same stats from your own server (not counting
staff IPs, since your Dir. Comm. probably skews the numbers).

IE5/Mac was a very different beast than IE5/Win: they both had their
problems, but they were very different problems.  So don't let any
obsolete Windows browsers let you overcount the number of obsolete Mac
browsers.

(Last 50,000 hits on our main web server: 1465 from Safari; 1356 from
Firefox and its brethren on Mac; 12 from Mac IE5.)
