That is, the original question was in a round-about kind of way asking about brands and presumably coverage within those brands to see if something falls out of the bottom, that is perhaps we'll see something like: "We know that 50% of our servers are run on HP hardware." The path Dave is taking is one of CPU/architecture. They're two different kinds of questions. I should also point out that more questions isn't always better. It might be useful to look at other such surveys so we can compare results between our survey and those conducted by others. Finally, having conducted several ICT surveys myself in the past, it would in my opinion be beneficial for the survey outcome, to contact a statistician before you send out the survey to see if you missed any design issues. -- Onno Benschop Connected via Optus B3 at S31°54'06" - E115°50'39" (Yokine, WA) -- ()/)/)() ..ASCII for Onno.. |>>? ..EBCDIC for Onno.. --- -. -. --- ..Morse for Onno..
