[ This is a repost of the article I sent out a week or so ago about conducting a survey of how many USENET readers with Amigas have EHB. The votes have started to come in less frequenty, so I thought I would repost the instructions again to catch anyone I might have missed or to remind those who forgot. The aliases immediately send a response to every vote they receive, so if you never got a response, try again. (I've had a few mailers choke on the replies, but I think I was able to reroute those around the bad mailers). -- tad ] Recently, there has been discussion regarding how many people have Extra-Half-Brite mode on their Amigas. Everyone having an Amiga and reading this forum is invited to participate in an informal survey... On xanth (specific addresses below), I have created two aliases: amiga-ehb-yes -- meaning: "Yes, I have EHB" amiga-ehb-no -- meaning: "No, I don't have EHB" Run Leo Schwab's EHB test program (from <3333@well.UUCP>). Then... If you DO have EHB mode: send a letter to "amiga-ehb-yes". If you DON'T have EHB mode: send a letter to "amiga-ehb-no". *** DO NOT MAIL YOUR RESULTS TO ME! YOU MUST USE THE ABOVE ADDRESSES! *** (This means you should *not* reply to this letter to vote!) In a few days after sending your letter, you should receive a response confirming its receipt. The letter itself is not read by anyone, so the Subject: and body should be empty. After not receiving any new responced for a week, I'll post a summary.
