  240. <p>------------------------</p>
  241. <p>A recent analysis of the worldwide Macintosh installed base and the<br />
  242. Macintosh user base for fiscal year 1997 (ending September 30), revealed a<br />
  243. number of interesting highlights, including the following:</p>
  244. <p>* 27.6 million Macintosh computers have been shipped worldwide since 1984.</p>
  245. <p>* 79 percent of all Macintosh computers shipped are still in use. (That's<br />
  246. 21.8 million active Macintosh computers.)</p>
  247. <p>* There are an average of 3.2 users per active installed Macintosh, which<br />
  248. means there are 69.3 million Macintosh users worldwide.</p>
  249. <p>(<a href="http://devworld.apple.com/stats.html" title="http://devworld.apple.com/stats.html">http://devworld.apple.com/stats.html</a>) text copied here:</p>
  250. <p>------------------------</p>
  251. <p>FY1997 Macintosh Installed Base and User Statistics</p>
  252. <p>"How many Macintosh computers have been sold? How many people use Macintosh<br />
  253. today? Where are they, and what do they use the Macintosh for?"</p>
  254. <p>Apple Computer, Inc. believes that, as a valued Macintosh developer,<br />
  255. customer, or potential customer, you deserve to know the answers to these<br />
  256. and similar questions. This page contains the best information Apple has,<br />
  257. and we are sharing it with you to convince you--the customer--that the<br />
  258. Macintosh platform is alive and quite healthy, and you--the developer--that<br />
  259. the Macintosh platform deserves serious consideration for your development<br />
  260. efforts.</p>
  261. <p>The data below is taken directly from Apple's Market Tracking Model, which<br />
  262. Apple uses internally in making its business decisions. The Market Tracking<br />
  263. Model is derived from various data sources, including numerous primary<br />
  264. end-user surveys, secondary research, Apple-internal data, industry<br />
  265. statistics, the Apple Customer Database, and customer demographics. The<br />
  266. data on this page is taken from the FY1997 Market Tracking Model, which<br />
  267. measures the Macintosh installed base as of September 30, 1997.</p>
  268. <p>Highlights</p>
  269. <p>The detailed data is given below. However, always keep in mind the<br />
  270. following points, which summarize what Apple knows about its Macintosh<br />
  271. customers and installed base:</p>
  272. <p>27.6 million Apple Macintosh computers have been shipped worldwide since<br />
  273. 1984. 79% of all Apple Macintosh computers shipped are still active in the<br />
  274. installed base (21.8 million Macintosh computers in use today). There are<br />
  275. an average of 3.2 users per Apple Macintosh computer in use today, which<br />
  276. computes to approximately 69.3 million Macintosh users worldwide.</p>
  277. <p>Cumulative Macintosh Shipments<br />
  278. From the introduction of the Macintosh in 1984 through FY97 year end, Apple<br />
  279. has shipped 27,608,442 Macintosh computers worldwide.</p>
