    Anyone have any ideas for a weekly survey? I have a few bubbling away but I figured you lot would surely have some burning questions you're aching to know the answer to. - average length of mouse cord - cable or wireless peripherals - Legal or A4 - Pencil or Pen The list is endless.

    Why not ask if people are planning on developing for the iPad, and/or owning one ? Seems timely. Or ask 'why have you not bought a Mac yet ?' Answers: 1 - I have, I'm not stupid 2 - I like computers that crash 3 - It's an adventure wondering if Windows will work today 4 - I am related to Bill Gates 5 - I own MS shares, and I am trying desperately to get them to rise in value again 6 - I'm just dumb.

      What kind of development do you do?:

      1. Desktop Apps
      2. Web Apps
      3. Hardware (FPGA)
      4. Embedded
      5. Server-Side

      Just some general categories.

                  Never. I was driven by Vista. I AM spending my morning trying to work out why a user has reported that an older app of ours that works fine on Vista is not working for them on Weven. But, it works for me so far ( still testing as admin, moving to non admin soon )

(White sandy beaches, a tree, the sky, a city street, a handy cliff, I don't have a window)

                                    1). Because if Mac software is anything like iTunes on windows, I'd rather claw my eyes out with a rusty spoon. 2). It has precisely zero applications that I care about. 3). Because my boss is an Apple fanboy too, and I just couldn't let him influence me. (See also, C. Graus) ;P 4). I buy a computer for work. And I work with Microsoft products. 5). I buy a computer to play games on. 'nuff said. 6). I cannot afford a second mortgage for a computer that is lower-equipped than my laptop, for more money. 7). All of the above.

                                      Anyone have any ideas for a weekly survey? I have a few bubbling away but I figured you lot would surely have some burning questions you're aching to know the answer to. - average length of mouse cord - cable or wireless peripherals - Legal or A4 - Pencil or Pen The list is endless.

                                      You need to do a survey on surveys. That's recursive and cool. Even hamsters can appreciate that.
