I'm curious to find out what components of LO are used most by the
people on this list. I think it helps to know different folks' area of
experience. It might also help us in learning new ways to integrate
the different components. For myself, my approximate usage is:

Writer     (85% of my use of LO)
Calc        (10%)
Impress  (3%, Maybe four to five presentations a year)
Base       (once a year to print out labels for my Christmas cards)
Draw      (What's that?)

Virgil,

I have a considerable background in inferential statistics, and have done formal survey research, in a variety of social and cultural contexts. I want to warn you that this sort of self-select, opt-in survey is NOT the way to go, if your question is serious.

You ARE only going to get a subset (sample) of your population of interest, and you'll have no way to relate that subset to the population, thus no way to draw any valid conclusions from the subset. It's pseudo-research, which creates the impression of creating knowledge without actually doing so.

Just something for you, and others, to think about.

Hope it's helpful.

Tom
