Hello guys.

As you might recall I finally managed to install a facility with which we are able to query our users. This first survey is meant to gauge our user base very carefully. I am planning on 30-50 questions, carefully selected to present us with a general overview. I would like to know who uses fink, why they use it and what they think of it. Please observe that my questions always contain answers you can pick from, I am trying to avoid free form answer. Those answers are not perfect yet and I am counting on you to complete them. The answer is written first, the possible choices for an answer are indented and prefixed with a -->

Please review them carefully and add your comments/answers.
