Greetings AMIGA public,
The following survey is aimed at trying to produce a clear picture
(to a limited degree), of both the current consumers entertainment tastes,
and that markets present hardware position. Upon the AMIGA home computer.

completion, please forward your survey *DIRECTLY* onto either our
_special_ survey address or to me. (EMAIL addresses at the END.)
Feel free to CROSS-POST/POST this survey into any other AMIGA related
newsgroups/echo's (I may have missed). But Please only post it, in it's
entirety. !! (including this short introduction)
I've tried to keep the layout fairly straight forward. After each
Question, your presented with various options. To tick your answer,
you simply place a '*' character within that options '[ ]'. (box).
Example: 1) Gender: [*] Male [ ] Female
Although, I feel i've given you a fair range of options too choose from,
within each question. I've no doubt, there will be times when your
particular preference or circumstances may *NOT* be fully represented.
If this situation does occur, Well please select the *CLOSEST* available
option to your preference or situation.
The most important thing about filling out any survey, is to be honest. !!!
So I urge you also, please don't manufacture your answers.
