The number of Seniors 65+ actively using the Internet was 17.5 million in November of 2009.
Sorry that's all I could find.

Because Yahoo Answers only allows me to include 10 weblinks, you are going to have to put "http://" in front of the additional weblinks I have listed below. I figured I'd included them since I found them already and was trying to post all of them.... they have additional info and stats, but I just can't post them due to the 10 weblink restriction. Anyway, hope these are useful to you!
