Quick survey?

[brian brilliant]

Hi all,

reading the DUC lately has brought me to the idea to get to know how large the proportion of satisfied users is, depending on their equipment. As I am a curious mind I was thinking if it wouldn't be the easiest if to find this out via a small standardized survey that just contains the very crucial factors like:

Digi Hardware: [...]
Digi Software: [...]
System hardware: PPC/Intel [MHz]
System software: OS
RAM: [...]
System Stability: (1) runs smoothly without any issues/ full-fledged; (2) runs quite smoothly with some minor issues/ bugs; (3) runs so far but not very stable; (4) runs with a lot of problems, no effective workflow possible; (5) still doesn't work at all
Troubleshooting: (1) did each step as recommended by digidesign, (2) did most of the troubleshooting until it worked; (3) did some selected techniques; (4) did not do anything of the troubleshooting/ what is trouble shooting?
Compatibility: (1) all components are approved by digidesign (e.g. ext. FW HDD with 912 chipset etc.); (2) some components are not approved (e.g. minimum RAM etc.); (3) configured system after own conception without following the compatibility grid
Days until system worked as it does now: [no. of days]

If you think that there is missing some very important issues feel free to ad, but try to keep it quantitative/ standardized so it stay eays to read for everyone.

Just in case you might wonder: No I am not using this information for commercial purposes and I am also not an 'informal' employee of digidesign. But yes I got a degree in social sciences.
Maybe this is also interesting for the digitechsupport, if they haven't done this already.

OK so I go ahead first:
Digi hardware: 003 factory
Digi software: 7.3.1cs3
System hardware: MBP C2D 2,16
System software: 10.4.8
RAM: 2GB
System stability: 2
Troubleshooting: 1
Compatibility: 1
Days until system worked: 6

If you wish I can make an interim analysis of the most important statistical indicators let's say every fifty posts or so just to get a better overview.
So who wants to come out next...

I believe the DUC Terms Of Use don't allow polls.

Sorry I am no native speaker but from my understanding this is a survey not a poll. I don't ask people to vote for anything. But excuse me if I am mistaken. I guess Digidesign will remove the thread if they think that it is not allowed to do so.
