Link to Wireless Laptop Survey Results

[laplend]

With apologies for the delays in posting this AND for any 
cross-postings, here are the results of the surveys I conducted in 
March. Members of this and other lists were asked to participate in one 
of 3 concurrent surveys. 228 of you graciously obliged. And I sincerely 
appreciate the effort of all who took the time to add comments or ask 
for the results.

[PLEASE NOTE: The spaces are actually underscoring.]

A Note on Format: These web pages were prepared specifically for the 
presentation that I gave at the latest New Jersey Library Association 
annual conference (April 11-13th). You will find all the data the 
surveys yielded but you will not find analysis here. (That was the live 
narration.) The data created by these surveys (especially Survey A) was 
not a tsunami to be sure, but I found it enlightening and - sometimes - 
entertaining. You may too.

Disclaimers / Caveats / Bewares:

1. The web site is incomplete. Yes, the survey data is ALL there, but 
not all of it is in readily analyzable form. I'm working on that. As all 
research done by organic life forms, this study is subject to errors. In 
other words: Use the data at your own risk.

2. The content of this gaggle of web pages, like both the best and worst 
of its cyber-ilk, is copyrighted. I feel like a publisher's thug saying 
so, but must because I have squeezed a publishable article out of it 
('Library Hi Tech,' later this year) and have a second in the works. So, 
if you use any significant bit of it in any creation of your own, please 
acknowledge the source.

3. Should you make an original observation, trenchant inference, or 
funny deduction from what you see, I'd really like to hear it. And, in 
the event I use said idea in my writing, I will certainly give full 
credit to the creator. In fact, if said same idea tips the scales at 
BRILLIANT, I'll ask first (in case it's copyrighted!).
