Mainly, I picked larger gaps deliberately, because I didn't want to use too-small a selection, and have people pick the "don't want to answer". As a rule, the younger generations are less likely you are to worry about giving out their age range, and this is more for broad demographics rather than small and detailed. (Each early option covers a life range: compulsory education almost certain live-at-home | almost-adult usually college/sixthform/uni, usually part live-at-home, part live away | adults, usually away from birth-home, but not always). Thinking about it, I probably should have picked 10 year jumps. 70+ was because I know very few people older than 70 who will go near a computer, and that is past normal retirement age (~65) > And, to save us all being patronised to death, how about a 1- 10 for > tech level? > Forget about employment, education etc., it's nobody's business > Hence the "don't want to answer" option ;). Its there, as its a useful demographic stat: seeing in what stage of life each respondent is in, rather than their education level. I could add a tech level option, interesting idea. Generally, education level means nothing to techyness: I've got A-levels, no degrees, yet I was the only non-graduate interviewee for my current job. > Hiya Mac not gonna let these whipper-snappers (under 30s) take us for > > granted on this list.

I'd need to start a new one, and I'm not sure whether people would fill it all out all over again now. Maybe in a years time I'll re-run it :) Mac: I'm 20 (21 fairly soon), and yes, I'm very techie Kind Regards, Kirrus -- Blog: http://www.kirrus.co.uk UK Plone Hosting: http://www.plone-hosting.co.uk RPGs: Captain Senaris Vlenn, CO, USS Sarek Lt Aieron Peters, XO DS5 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
