Which state is the most computerized ?

We were wondering about this recently in our office — which state is the most computer savvy, most computerized ? And one does wonder, doesn't one ?

Might it be New York state, or Washington State the home of Microsoft ? How about Florida, my favourite for the title ? And of course there is California.

We simply could not agree, so we aggregated the sales of The Ultimate Troubleshooter and out of this most unscientific survey some surprising results came out.

California is out in front on its own, in a league of its own, nearly 60% more than the second placed state. The one that came second took me completely by surprise : Texas !! Then came the state which I thought would be first, Florida. Bill Gates' home state, Washington, comes in at a lowly 9th.

Here is the list :

California

Texas

Florida

New York

Pennsylvania

Illinois

New Jersey

Massachusetts

Washington

Virginia

Michigan

North Carolina

Ohio

Arizona

Georgia

Maryland

Colorado

Tennessee

Wisconsin

Alabama

I've got a friend Bob in Auburn, Alabama, so I'm glad they've made it into the top 20.

Interesting, hey ?
