Intel: 48% people uses their notebook while undressed.

Quote:
The survey of more than 2,400 computer users found that people have used their laptop PCs at weddings and funerals, in coal mines and on top of grain towers, from a Grand Canyon hiking trail to a "dodgy youth hostel in Amsterdam," while riding a horse, milking a cow and building a chicken coop.

They tend to use them just about anywhere, and often while doing other things. Eighty-one percent reported using their laptops in front of the TV, 60 percent in bed, 54 percent while eating and 48 percent while undressed or in their underwear.

Electronic porn becomes more and more of a problem every year.

heh - I just "ran across" some extra storage bumping me to a theoritical 170 gigs. about 90 of those I dont' trust (see other posts by me recently). SO those 90 can be filled with e-porn.

Intel: 48% people uses their notebook while undressed.
And 78% of those type one handed!

But other studies show, 90% of all statisics are made up on the spot!
