You're welcome and ditto! Have to respect a company that operates on higher standards and principles in this market now-a-days, ya know?
Read an EXCEPTIONALLY well written profile on KCMH today.

http://smallcapsociety.com/kcmh.php
Google search shows that KCMH is gaining some exposure.
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=kcm+holdings+corp&aq=1&oq=%22kcm+holding&aqi=g2
Yeah saw that right as I posted. chuckle
And as they continue to gain more exposure should only make things easier for further expansion and revenue growth, don't you think so?
Can concur there 'cherrob'.
Would venture that those numbers should be higher!
Taking into account they're based on surveys and data of a populace segment that is continuing to, "grow into", become more comfortable with the technical modern online realm and usage.
Especially as they age 'lucky', here's another good read concerning usage of EYSM's target growth market.
Reaching Baby Boomers Online
The interesting part is that we seem intent on fostering the myth that the Internet is the province of the young, that online is an ineffective way to reach boomers--particularly older boomers--and you might as well forget social media when thinking about older consumers.
And nothing could be farther from the truth.
The fact is that Internet usage among Baby Boomers is comparable to Internet usage by both Generation X and the Echo Boomers. Also, online boomers are more involved with certain aspects of the Web than younger consumers.
According to data analyzed by Pew for The Associated Press:
• Online boomers were more likely to send or receive e-mail on a given day: 54% versus 49% of younger Americans who are wired.
• About 66% of online Boomers have looked up health information online, compared with 54% for younger users.
• Boomers were more likely to visit online support groups for specific medical conditions and personal situations: 55% versus 36%.
• Half of online Boomers have used the Internet for financial information, compared with 28% for the younger group.
Bottom line, for certain businesses, and with certain segments of boomers, the Web proves more critical to reach them than it would be for younger prospects. We've found this time and again with many of our clients. In the case of a major online media client, insights into boomers' media consumption habits and their attitudes toward online were critical to the development of a successful acquisition and retention strategy that significantly increased traffic to their site.
True statement 'T_M'. Here's an online article excerpt concerning some of EYSM's target market.
"Consisting of 77.2 million people, baby boomers — people born between 1946 and 1964 — represent a prized, yet often misunderstood, demographic for online marketers. In fact, they represent the largest group within the U.S. Internet population at 56.7 million users, a full 29.4 percent of all Internet users. So why is there such confusion about how to effectively market to them? A recent report from the online market research firm eMarketer, Boomers Online: Attitude Is Everything, addresses this issue.
The first hurdle for online marketers targeting boomers is the disparity in age that can exist within the group. This has led many marketers to divide the group into two distinct segments: older boomers (those born between 1946 and 1954) and younger boomers (those born between 1955 and 1964). Also, boomers' online behavior typically varies from that of most Internet users. They view the Internet as a tool or resource to help them accomplish things — not a lifestyle or source of entertainment the way their younger counterparts treat it.
Telling statistics
Here are some relevant statistics from eMarketer's report that online marketers should know about the baby boomer generation:
•74 percent use the Internet at least once a month;
•younger boomers outnumber older boomers online 35.3 million to 21.4 million;
•more boomer women are Internet users than boomer men;
•21 percent of boomers report not having Internet access;
•62 percent of households headed by someone age 50 or older had annual incomes of $75,000 or more, nearly 5 percent higher than in 2004;
•61 percent said it doesn't pay to be loyal to one brand, especially in today's marketplace;
•68 percent of baby boomer women trust recommendations and rated information they heard in conversations as credible; and
•further underscoring these findings, in a recent survey from the public relations firm Edelman, 54 percent of baby boomers said the advertising industry misrepresents and neglects them, especially online, where 72.5 percent of younger boomers and 83.2 percent of older boomers said online advertising focused on younger age groups."
