Site Stats
I’ve been keeping track of the visitors here for a while now, and have noticed some interesting trends. I can see what OS and browser visitor’s use; and it’s been fun to see Firefox and IE’s shares grow according to their new releases, along with that of Windows 7, and the decline of XP.
