It is just silly for us to say 'most apple iigs owners use this' or 'most apple iigs owners use that' since few of us know most Apple IIgs owners. BUT, I would guess that among the Apple II owners here, we probably represent several dozen user groups. I would like to call for volunteers to poll the Apple IIgs owners in your Apple user groups (either local or electronic) and find out _the top 10 programs that they USE_. I do not care about how many programs they own. I only want to know the specific programs (and the OS it runs in, just in case I never heard of it before) that folks are using. Mail the results to me. Since people sometimes have problems getting through to this mail address I will post a temporary mail address that folks with problems can use. If you are unable to contact me at: lwv27@cas lwv27@cas.bitnet lwv27%cas.bitnet@cunyvm.cuny.edu osu-cis!chemabs!lwv27 then mail to 75046.606@compuserve.com - note that this address costs me $$ to get mail - so I would prefer you to use this as a last resort. At the end of January, I will tally the results and let you know. This gives you approx 2 months to collect info. I would suggest that you wait until January and then send me the info. Lets use a format of: Total users responding: xxxx Program 1: Rastan GS GS/OS Program 2: ProTerm 2.1 Prodos 8 Program 2: ProTerm 2.2 Prodos 8 : : Program 237: Applesoft Prodos/DOS 3.3 : : Program n: ASCII EXPRESS DOS 3.3 That is, do not just tally up and then post the 10 most mentioned programs. Tally up all of the results and send them along. Personally, I would be interested in seeing as many results as you can find. Feel free to pass this msg along to other user groups - it would be nice to find a truly independent survey . -- Larry W.
