I personally have something about 40 486 in use right now and I'm not
the only one.
This is more then twice your number on 486 systems.
These are rather new systems and there for a good reason.
Just reaslise that your numbers can't be correct.
Lots of people publishing their systems do this for penis enlarging
purpose and this requires having a big system and biasing the
statistics.
