Hello all! I've been wondering about the size and shape of the
Amiga Minix community, and a survey sounded like a good way to
find out. Please fill out the form below, even if you don't yet
own Minix for the Amiga. Please send replies to *ME ONLY*, I
will boil the results down and post a summary, along with
whatever interesting statistics I can come up with.

The survey will close on June 2nd at 6:00PM EDT.

Results will be posted shortly afterwards. After that time, the
data that was collected, along with awk/shell scripts that I
invent to manipulate it, will be availible on request.

Thanks!
