The figure is certainly not indicative of the number of users.
I saw some 80 user systems.

Frank Q was a leading supporter of SBT on the UNIX platform.
The last I heard, he was still running some.
I ran into him on several SBT forums.
It was amazingly efficient, but MS hated it because using a WYSE 60 station instead of a desktop meant no sale of Windows.
Anyone who does not go overboard- deserves to.
