Dear P.C. user,
I am conducting a survey of people who have recently purchased
a personal computer. The survey is part of an effort to collect data for
use in a class I will be teaching through the Northwest Y.M.C.A., "Buy-
ing Your First Computer". The class will be oriented at providing the
students with the knowledge necessary to understand the hardware, soft-
ware, buzz words, comparison tables, and other assorted obstacles en-
countered in choosing a personal computer. I have found that first hand
data from P.C. users is one of the most accurate and valuable sources
of information available. May I ask you to take a few minutes to fill
out the attached survey ? Your time spent will be greatly appreciated
by many hungry minds. Thank you for your help.
Sincerely,
Philip L. Coulson
P.S.- If you have any questions or would like to send me any supplem-
ental info (or if you prefer to talk about your system over the
phone) I can be reached at:
