I'm after a site with stats on the spec's of the typical net user's computer. You know the kind of stats... screen res, cpu, operating system, browser etc. gimme all that schnizzit.

and before anyone pipes up shouting 800*600 and the likes at me I need a website giving the stats.... I want to link to it from some speil in my portfolio, so if its a well known or highly regarded site then all the better. I know I know beggars can't be choosers!

Whomever pleases me with their offerings first will be blessed with the once in a lifetime opportunity to take Mo Mowlam on an all expenses paid date to burger king, oooooh yes :love:

no such thing as a typical web user.

you gotta decide who's gonna be your site's audience and then make the site around their requirements.. to be safe, optimise everything and make the site for 800x600 resolution with a 12pt font.

um.... thanks but if you use your eyes to actually read my first post you'll see I'm after a website and not someone's recommendations. And no maybe there isn't such a thing as the typical web user but there must be averages as in most people are still using 800*600 res etc. etc.

cheers :P

There are companies like IDG that provide their tracking data services to magazines, etc. I can't find any good links though :(
