Margin of error is ±2% for results based on the full sample and ±3% for results based on internet users.Please note that prior to our January 2005 survey, the question used to identify internet users read, “Do you ever go online to access the Internet or World Wide Web or to send and receive email?” The current two-part question wording reads, “Do you use the internet, at least occasionally?” and “Do you send or receive email, at least occasionally?”

I went through and changed the font color of where I fit into the age and culture of this table. I did learn how to get the advanced toolbar to do this, so I figure I am advancing a little more with the technology as I do this…..and I learned how to paste the table in..
