Admittedly this is a small sample but my stat logs back
up what Tony claimed

I make signs. It is quite obvious to me that in the signmaking business, Windows machines are hugely dominant. Rare is the sign shop that uses Macs, and it is likely that no franchise operation uses Macs. Your stats do not surprise me at all.

Ditto for the picture framing industry. Frame shops that use Macs are virtually unheard of. That is because almost all producers of software for the framing industry write solely for Windows. If you want to computerize your frame shop, you essentially have to run Windows. Therefore, any framing related website will indicate stats similar to yours.

Automotive service and dealerships, the same thing. I have never seen anything but DOS/Windows running in a car dealership or service facility in my entire life. Related websites would show stats like yours, and probably far more skewed toward Windows.

Lawyers similarly are almost exclusively Windows users, so ditto for stats on legal websites. Lawyers also predominately use AOL, which is why it is not so jokingly referred to as "Attorneys On Line."
