[ 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.
Addressing information (replace "xxx" with either "yes" or "no"):
new UUCP: amiga-ehb-xxx@xanth.UUCP
(this is preferred)
old UUCP: ...!{sun,seismo,mit-eddie,hoptoad}!xanth!amiga-ehb-xxx
(xanth talks to many others -- see your sysadmin if you need help)
ARPA: amiga-ehb-xxx%xanth.UUCP@EDDIE.MIT.EDU
