Happy Birthday to MacOpz!

On Thursday Oct. 21st 1999 at 10:18 P.M. Alaska time MacOpz went online. It has been precisely 1 year since that day, making this MacOpz' first birthday. In celebration of that we would like to share some of MacOpz' statistics with you. This information is based on analysis done by Analog and AXS.

Total number of hits to .html documents: 127,149. This may not sound like much compared to many sites out there, but it's pretty damn good considering we didn't have much in the way of content until February, and that this is our first time attempting to run a web site. This number is also slightly conservative as a few of our log files were lost in a hard drive crash.

Number of times Frisky has required "emergency un-sticking" of keyboard: 6

Tidbit: Immediately after publishing our first DP3 article we were contacted by the owner of MacNN/AppleInsider. She wanted to buy our DP3 article and contract us to do regular work for her. We turned her down. She said we were money-grubbing. ;^)

One would assume that some of these hits are actually iCab, Opera, Omniweb or other browsers that can report themselves as Netscape and/or IE, as we have visited with those browsers so they ought be on the list.

The most popular platform to view MacOpz with is the Mac (duh) totalling 56.71% of hits (Though we're not sure what OS X reports itself as) Second place goes to Windows with 37.12% of hits (Surprising how many Windows users visited our site considering we have predominately Mac oriented content, though our collaborations with ihateapple.com probably helped with this.) Interesting that only 1.88% of our views were by UNIX OSes, I would have thought with the popularity of the OS X articles and The NeXT Mac OS articles we would have seen more interested UNIX users.
