And the envelope please...
A while back I started a poll on mail order places for Mac software.
I asked for the following information:
1. Name of company?
2. How many seperate orders have you placed with them?
3. Answer yes or no: Would you buy from them again?
The table below gives the results. The first column is the name of the
company. The second is the number of orders from people who answered
"yes" to question 3. The third is the number of orders from people who
answered "no" to question 3. The fourth is the number of people who
answered "maybe" to question three ( e.g., they said they would buy from
the company again if it was a good price ). The last column is the
number of individuals who responded for that company.

Some of these places are not really Mac places ( or even really
mail order places ), but I accepted results for them anyway.
Thanks to these people:

I think this is everybody I got responses from. If you sent something
and are not on the list, then it probably got lost, but thanks anyway.
