Do all of those computer users constitute more than 10% of computer users? I don't think there's even 5% of computer users there. Talking about 3D modelling, game programming and producers like they're the majority is a technologist-centric view. Most computer use is by people who think the web is the internet and use 'inbox' as a verb.

> Do all of those computer users constitute more than 10% of computer users? I don't think there's even 5% of computer users there. So as stated that was the list of the top of my head. I just pulled from my personal list of hobbies, things that I use a computer for other than programming or automation. Within 50 feet of me at work there are a whole bunch of electrical engineers who spend 90% of their time in some fat app for designing, I dunno, telco electrical stuff. In the fishbowl next to that, are 50 network operations staff who spend 90% of their day in "fat" network monitoring applications. I'm just pointing out if you look far enough there are plenty of people using apps outside a web browser for their daily work and hobbies. In my nearly 25 career in IT I have never heard people use 'inbox' as a verb (as in 'inbox me?'). Sure some people must say it sometimes, but I think this is overstated and another example of programmer cliche or hyperbole.
