If you, as a >user, do send me mail saying "I want clari", or "I don't want clari." Well, I got a whopping response of 19 replies, plus 3 oral replies as people caught me in the hallways. Results: Want ClariNet: 21 Don't want ClariNet: 1 Who will pay for it? Well 3 people said they would NOT pay for it, and 2 said they WOULD pay for it if someone was to collect money (!). Several people suggested that UTCS should/could pay, but I haven't contacted them, and they haven't contacted me. I only did this poll to see if there was an interest. Someone else (with $$) may wish to pursue this further. Again, the price was (around) C$250/month for the whole campus. Interesting quotes: "I don't want clari. It's lousier than TV news." "I like it, but I'm not sure if it's worth money." "I like the Eastern Europe news." [From a Czech (sp?)] "Where's the Kinsey sex features?" "The phonetic spellings from Broadcast News are amusing. I though people in radio were quite literate?" BTW, I'd like thank Brad for giving us the opportunity to sample ClariNet. -- Doug Eastick -- eastick@me.utoronto.ca
