As with the pyramid effect, the large majority of businesses are small businesses and don't even have an IT Manager. Restaurents, cleaning companies, plumbers, tradespeople, hotels are all valid businesses. It should read something more like "59% of medium and large UK businesses are now using XML..." Businesses with an IT manager probably constitute only 20% of all businesses in the country. Therefore, the number is probably more realistically about 10%. It's amazing the spin that a good marketing department can put on a few simple survey results..... David -- Computergrid : The ones with the most connections win.
