It depends on whose logs you're looking at.
http://browserwatch.internet.com/stats/ua-netscape.html shows:

Mozilla/3.x (Mac68k) 0.30%
Mozilla/3.x (MacPPC) 1.02%
Mozilla/3.x (Win16) 0.77%
Mozilla/3.x (Win95) 4.29%
Mozilla/3.x (X11) 0.73%
Mozilla/4.x (Mac68k) 0.23%
Mozilla/4.x (MacPPC) 3.12%
Mozilla/4.x (Win16) 0.25%
Mozilla/4.x (Win95) 22.3%
Mozilla/4.x (WinNT) 8.78%
Mozilla/4.x (X11) 4.68%

And Microsoft browsers are 1.36% on MacPPC, 7.86% on Win95, and 5.67%
on WinNT (for MSIE 4.x).

This would seem to support the idea that the numbers are comparable --
approximately 6.03% unambiguously using Macs, and 5.41% unambiguously
using Linux or other Unix.

Opera is nice.  Did you include the demo version, or the full version?

Ahh.

I'll send you a quick HTML version anyway, since it's already done :)
