source file: mills2.txt Date: Mon, 1 Jul 1996 16:11:38 -0700 Subject: Tuning List Stats From: madole@ella.mills.edu (David Madole) Hey Tune-Towners, Every now and then (as long term members know) when I am doing list processor maintenance I like to procrastinate by taking stock of the Tuning List and reporting to its' members some of the vital statistics of the list. There are currently about 350 subscribers, which is about average for the last year or so, "representing" the following nations/institutions/providers. It is difficult to tell any more what the national affiliations of many subscribers are because of the large ".com" contingent (suggesting... good things, I hope), but at least 24 countries are represented. One thing that has become evident as time has passed (29 months tomorrow) is the steadily decreasing predominance of US .edu subscribers (in fact, of US subscribers in general). Anyway, for what it is worth, here are current "institutional affiliations" of the list's members, based on the domain names in their email addresses: 100 EDU US(?) Educational Institutions, 96 COM Commercial Providers (not necessarily US), 20 UK United Kingdom, 19 NET "Network", 13 ORG "Non Profit Organization", 13 CA Canada, 12 AU Australia, 9 NL Netherlands, 7 DE Germany, 6 AT Austria, 5 FR France, 3 SG Singapore, 3 SE Sweden, 3 NO Norway, 3 JP Japan, 2 MIL US Military, 2 HK Hong Kong, 2 FI Finland, 2 DK Denmark, 2 CH Switzerland, 1 ZA South Africa, 1 MX Mexico, 1 IN India, 1 IL Israel, 1 HR Hungary, 1 GR Greece, 2 GOV US Government, 1 ES Spain, 1 BE Belgium. The list reports 3933 messages "on file". The current archive contains about 10.7 megabytes of... in-for-mation. eartha is an SGI Indigo in a basement a hundred yards or so from the Hayward fault at Mills College in Oakland, California, USA. Some time later this summer the list processor will be moved to another workstation. This should be transparent to users but may involve some downtime. I will post a warning.
