A survey of computers in Mannington was done during and after the first two minicons. It was astonishingly difficult to refine the number of computers that would have been in town in April of 2000. The numbers below are what the board eventually agreed to live with, however accurate or inaccurate they might be.
Who owns the computers:
| 5 | Elementary School |
| 19 | Middle School |
| 130 | High School |
| 20 | High School Teachers (Laptops*) |
| 15 | Local Government |
| 6 | Water Treatment Plant |
| 1 | Street Dept |
| 80 | Local Businesses |
| 25 | Technical / Training School |
| 20 | Among 900 people 60+ (500-600 households?) |
| 400 | Among 2000 people 18-59 (1200-1400 households? 26%-30% penetration assuming 1.1 computers per computer owning household) |
| 15 | Power Plant |
| 14 | Not otherwise counted |
| 750 | Total |
- * Every teacher in the high school had a laptop, but most teachers lived outside the RoF and were not within it on Sunday afternoon when it happened.
