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

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

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.

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.

Maybe that's the place but they only have 900 people, so i kind of doubt they would be on the survey but who knows for sure.

Wow, you guys have so many computers.
I only have one. Any old ones, I pass it off to my siblings who will then have one.

Why do you guys need so many computers for?

okay, if Canda is a typo, then we are all fucking losers...or NCIX should close down, cause no one buys a computer here.

I can't see why they would include a municipality amongst all the countries.
