Yes, it's here again...It's back! Well, I don't think it's quite been a
year since the last POWER POLLS but whoever said it was only an annual
thing? Not me (I don't think so anyway)! Anyway, since the last POWER
POLLS, things have changed so much that a new one was needed and this time,
it's going to bigger and better than ever!
So then, just what are the POWER POLLS? Well, last time, the POWER POLLS
was a bit like the Oscars of POWER disk magazine. I put it to all you
readers what you thought was the best column, your favourite article and so
on. Well, this time, we're going to have all that plus a lot more so we
find out everything we need to know about what you readers like in your disk
magazines. Just to spice things up a bit and give you a bit of incentive to
fill in the POWER POLLS as well, there's going to be three prizes on
offer...
1ST PRIZE : A £25 credit note for POWER P.D. and a free lifetime subscrition
to POWER disk magazine.
2ND PRIZE : A £10 credit note for POWER P.D. and a free lifetime
subscription to POWER disk magazine.
3RD PRIZE : A £5 credit note for POWER P.D. and a free lifetime subscription
to POWER disk magazine.
Pretty good prizes don't you think? Well, this is the ultimate
questionnaire so I've got to make it worth your while to fill it
in! Everyone who sends in a completed questionnaire will have their name
put into a hat. By 'completed questionnaire', I mean that you have made an
effort to fill it in. As I will repeat later on, not EVERY question has to
be filled in as you may not have an opinion on some of the questions and so
on.
Right, well, the questionnaire is coming up now. This file is also on the
desktop so simply load it up into your word processor or copy it out or
print it out using the print function in this shell (press HELP for more
info) and fill it in, then send it back to me. All questionnaires should be
in by the 20th November. Results should hopefully be published in issue 23
of POWER.
Please note that you can only vote ONCE. Please fill in as many of the
questions as possible but if for some reason there are any you don't want to
fill in or you don't understand or simply CAN'T answer it (i.e. the question
is "what's your favourite software release?" but you don't have a favourite
software release) then you can miss it out. If you are saving your
questionnaire to disk then please save it in ASCII.
Here's the questionnaire...
