When I go to www.bsdstats.org, I see these figures:

 	Systems
This Month 	Percentage
FreeBSD 	5,041 	67.5 %
PC-BSD 		1,997 	26.7 %
DesktopBSD 	241 	3.2 %
NetBSD 		99 	1.3 %
OpenBSD 	56 	0.7 %
DragonFly 	24 	0.3 %
MidnightBSD 	12 	0.2 %

So, what's happening here?  Is it too early in December for some BSD
varieties to report yet?  Whatever the answer, PC-BSD has hardly lost
more than 2/3 of its users since November, so something is fishy here.

In any case, it would be nice to see a DATE somewhere on these pages.

Thanks for your efforts, BTW.  I just ran bsdstats myself.
