Ludepower 04-14-2009 07:31 AM

basically everyone in Canada has a computer? I highly doubt that...

Presto 04-14-2009 07:35 AM

Well, a lot of people have more than one. I have 7. My parents have 2. Even my sister has 3.

eddoe 04-14-2009 07:54 AM

Same. I've got 3 computers + 2 laptops + 2 old, useless computers for a 4 person family.

Probably includes babies/children.

I'm guessing the avg. adult has 1.5 - 2 computers.

StaxBundlez 04-14-2009 08:42 AM

loafer80 04-14-2009 08:43 AM

twitchyzero 04-14-2009 10:19 AM

surprised Canada is in 2nd place

Presto 04-14-2009 10:26 AM

You'd think Korea would be somewhere near the top. They're all hardcore WoW players multi-boxing their twinks.

Why would a person need more than 1 computer? 1 desktop + 1 laptop is understandable. But 8? Am I missing something?

It's the amount of computers per 100 people, not the total amount of computers in an area. My neighborhood can have 200 computers per 100 people and we'd "beat out" every country.

Freelance animators have plenty for their render farm. The more PCs they have, the faster they can minimize their render times.

I work with lots of people who have still never turned on a computer let alone own one. these are people in there 50's - 60's making $100k-200k. they don't need computers and will probably never have one.
