What else are you going to run the 'Journeyman Project' on?

Precisely why marketers would have a keen interest in quantifying this. It would be invaluable to know the percentages of those likely to buy products for OS X and those who haven't bought a new computer in more than half a decade.

If the number of people using OS 9 is anything close to as large as it was two years ago, all projections for all OS X-based vendors will produce a deficit for these companies unless they're able to know and correct for this dormant submarket.

For this reason it would seem very useful for a professional marketing firm or major vendor to have put out the relatively minor cost to quantify this submarket.

I doubt that reliable stats are readily available. Anyway, I doubt them being that useful for marketing anyway. IMHO, OS9 is pretty much dead for general software releases. I believe that OS9 users pretty much already have what they need in terms of production and utility sofware and since there are no new OS releases for them, whatever they have will function forever. If they needed newer software, they have bought a newer computer. Having said that, I also believe that there is still enough sale opportunities for specific vertical apps that target or include support for OS9.
