The website stats - ie hits/visitors a day. Referers, the usual stuff.

Why not? It's "our" website, so why shouldn't we know how well (or badly) it's working for us?
Simon has provided the data - we're getting about 200 different visitors a day.
This is one of the saddest bits:
--- Operating Systems by visits
* Different operating systems listed: 5
Windows : 943 |############################################ 69.4%
Unknown : 239 |########### 17.6%
Linux :
155 |####### 11.4%
Macintosh : 20 | 1.5%
SunOS : 1 | 0.1%
Or maybe we can look at it and think that it's really lots of windows people looking for a change...
Gordon
Perhaps not windows folk looking for a change, like many I keep a MS Windows OS machine operational all the time.
(After all, it communicates with my paying customers in their language, their web email only
plays ball with MS IE)
While all machines dual boot, my preference, I probably use MS OS 80% time, so calls to websites normally go out of MS OS.
Hence my statistics would normally show windows origination even if Linux is subject.
For example I am at present reading a PDF on windows machine which shows book on Linux program, while I learn/experiment
with program it on also open Linux system.
Computer tases are catholic.
