OK, I've uploaded the second more elaborate survey now.  It can be found at:

www.fortunecity.com/skyscraper/parallax/359/pov_survey.html

There are about 12 questions (nearly all of them Yes/No answers).

I would appreciate if people would include their email addresses, however,
this is not compulsory.

Thanks for the great response I got from the first survey!

HAPPY TRACING!!!

Lance.

Your text is missing again. I was able to highlight the text
with the mouse and fill it out but ...
Also if you add http:// before the address it becomes an active
link people can use instead of having to copy and paste the
address into the URL window.

Strange, I have no labels in front of the lists !
I can answer to the first one but what about the others questions ?
Is this a Netscape trick ?
I'll try again later.

OK, should be fixed, I hope

playing up so I don't know when you'll get it)

No, just a style sheet problem, should be fixed.

I don't understand the question "Do you run multiple Operating Systems?".
  Does it mean "Do you have multiple OS's on your home computer?" or
"Do you regularly use povray on multiple OS's?"?
  I assumed the latest and answered "yes", because I regularly use povray
on a DOS and a SunOS (sparc) computer, and sometimes on a Digital Unix (alpha)
computer.
  If the question means the first one, then I should answer "no"...

Well, actually it meant the first, email me your age and the name of the
browser you were using and I'll work it out from that.

My email address is zon### [at] satcomnetau

So, just to clarify that for everyone else, it means "Do you run multiple
OSs on your computer?"

That, of course, depends on one's newsreader. ;)

OK, did it, worked fine.  I am curious to know if, for example, men
answer your survey right away while women answer it later, or if the
young whippersnappers answer sooner, etc.   Are you recording time of
submission?

Do you consider university to be a place of work? I've been there 5 months and
I'm still not sure if I do any work there, I answered 'yes' to your question
just in case I do ever get around to some.

>>Have you ever left a single trace go for more than a month?<<
I answered no to this question, I once left a trace on for 2 months but that was
to compare the speed of my 'new' Pentium 66 with the old 386sx 16, it got
half-way through when I tripped on the cord.

>>Do you own an official IRTC or POV-Ray CD-ROM?<<
I'd like one but I'm a cheap-skate.

Yep, the time is automatically recorded, I'll include this in the stats.
Also, the web browser and OS are included too.

As for women doing the survey later, that seems to be true.  But then again,
in the original survey, they were amongst the first to fill it out.

Younger people seem to get in first as well.

There will be some uncertainty on your os/browser results, depending on the
way you got the data. There are people using stuff like JunkBuster. In my
case you'll probably find mac/mozilla, that's not what I'm using.
