Blast from the past

31 May 2013

Just found this in a document of mine from 2005 named "Case for Standards":

Firefox usage on the rise - According to web analytics firm OneStat.com, [Firefox's] global market share jumped from zero to nearly 8.5% in less than five months, and technology sites such as W3Schools.com report rates in the 20% range for web-savvy and home users.

Also from the same page:

Strong growth in broadband - Dial-up access still has a commanding presence, accounting for nearly twice as many users as those of broadband in the United States. The gulf, however, is narrowing: Last year there were three times as many dial-up users as there were broadband users.

It's funny how long ago and far, far away all that sounds now.
