What ! No graphs ? Sheesh !

Statisticaly I don't feel your percentages will hold
up if the time period for the survey were longer, and
it's wise to remember that older folk will consider
such surveys pointless, old age dulls enthusiasm, and
might not feel obliged to fill it out. But it is
kinda interesting. The female respondant numbers support
my assertaions in my why aren't there more females out
there using the program thread.

The oldest female is my age. That's neat.
