[net.micro] P.C. owner survey

							Sept , 1983
	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

	      ental info (or if you prefer to talk about your system over the
