I just received an envelope from "Exhibit Surveys Incorporated".
Being a good citizen, I started filling it out but I immediately
stopped, dead on my tracks, on item 25-1:

        Operating Systems/Platforms:
          Mac OS
          Windows
          UNIX
          Linux

Did Denys design this survey?
(It contains Mac OS as the FIRST selection :-)

Anyhow, I stopped right and there there and wrote, in big red letters:


        No MPE/iX mentioned.  Forget your survey.


________________________________


I then continued to glance at the rest of the survey.

Question 5c: Also, indicate if you use any of these companies's products
          EMC
          HP
          IBM
          Oracle
          PeopleSoft

Question 6 asks you to evaluate three things:
          Personnel
          Exhibit

          Theater
            Raising your interest in company's products (no mention
            of raising the overall exhibit-hall noise level :-)



Then, the standard demographic questions, etc.


...  The survey seems oriented to satisfy the big & noisy booths.


Any other victims of this survey?  (Not that I want to initiate
a survey on the survey :-)
