"Census figures showed that 54 million households, or 51 percent, had one or more computers in 2000, up from 42 percent in 1998. It was the first time computer ownership surpassed 50 percent, the report said. The bureau surveyed about 50,000 households in August 2000. (The data are separate from the census, which did not include questions on computer access or Internet use.)"
