A few weeks ago I posted an article asking for people's opinions
on word processors. I received several responses to that open ended
post (many thanks to all those who responded to my first post :) Now
I'm looking for a more diverse audience-- which is why this may appear
in some unrelated groups-- and hopefully some statistics
to back up my premise. I'm sorry to all of you who have to read this 
more than once because I posted it to several newsgroups. Thanks
to all of you who take the time to respond as well.

Please consider the answers provided as suggested and not necessarily the
only acceptable ones. 

For anyone pressed for time, please feel free to just type down the question
number and a response. (I'm especially interested in questions 2,3,9, and 10.
Consider answering just those) For anyone who didn't respond to my earlier
post any free form opinions would be appreciated. :)

Thanks,

BTW If anyone has any ideas how I could get more responses to this survey or
    other groups that might be appropriate to post it to, I'm open to 
    suggestions.
