One student has a 40 hours/week job and is taking 3 classes. That amounts
to 70 hours / week: very stressful! Possibly unwise.
Two   students 20 + 5 : 70 hours / week.
Two   students 40 + 2 : 60 hours / week.
Three students 20 + 4 : 60 hours / week.

Number of hours web surfing:

zero (?), 3, 2 times 4, 5, 6, 8, 2 times 9, 3 times 10, 2 times 12, 
\2 times 30, 40+, plus some ``several'' and ``little''.

Amount of Email: Units not clear. Some seem to indicate number of Emails, 
some hours.
zero (?), several in the 8 - 10 range, highest two are 100 and 150.

Ping:    13 y,  6 N

can you visit							 18 Y, 1 N
did you visit							 18 y, 1 N
(It seems (?) one student never visited the NJIT web site.
Data is suspect.)

IP adressing                                                     11 y, 8 N

Your ISP:
two people do not know, but do surf and use Email. 
I assume their ISP is ``NJIT''.
Three more say ``NJIT''. 

One person seems not to have web access. But that person did give an 
Email address, so I assume the data is bad.
