An early 2012 look at visitors

Hadn't been planning on doing this, but since I had to try and figure out how many of my readers are still using dial-up internet, it was a good time.

As of March 25th, 72% of all visitors are new, and 27% of you are returning visitors.

* 45% of the site visitors are using Internet Explorer (46% IE8, 40% IE9, 11% IE7, Thankfully just under 2% on IE6, and two visits on IE10, of which one was me testing)
* 25% are using Firefox (57% on version 10, 11% on version 11, 7% on version 9, 3% on version 8, and just under 9% on versions 4 and earlier.)
* 15% are using Chrome (.6% on version 18, 91% on version 17, .6% each on versions 16 and 15, and .42% on version 12)
* 9% are using Safari (Build numbers are a bit weird - 25% on 7534.48.3, 8% on 6533.20.27, and ~55% on 533/534.X.X)
* 1.75% are using Opera (3.5% using version 12, 85.5% using version 11, with 8-10 at about 1.75% each)
* 1.6% are using an Android browser (Tablet or Smart phone)

* 85% are using Windows (46% Win7, 39% WinXP, 14% Vista, less than 1% total "everything else")
* 7% are using Macintosh (27% 10.7 "Lion," 46% 10.6 "Snow Leopard," 18% 10.5 "Leopard," 8.5% 10.4 "Tiger")
* 2% are using iPad (no version info)
* 1.6% are using Android (13.5% version 3 variants, everything else some version of version 2.3 or 2.2)
* 1.2% are using iPhone/iPod (no version info)
* .75% are using Linux (no version info)
* .09% are using Blackberry (no version info)
* .03% are using Chrome OS (netbooks)

5% of the visitors were from mobile devices and 95% were from more traditional laptops or workstation/home systems
