<FORM METHOD="POST"
 ACTION="http://web.mit.edu/bin/cgiemail/afs/athena/org/a/acs/www/survey.txt">

<p>To help <a href="index.html">Academic Computing</a> with planning
future enhancements and modifications of the student computing
environment at MIT, we would appreciate your answering the following
15 questions.  In giving your answers, especially those concerning
your general use of Quickstations, Athena clusters, and personal
computers, think about how you have made use of computing during the
past month. Do NOT think back over your entire career at MIT. We are
interested in getting a snapshot of how students do their computing at
MIT at the present time.

<p>We are noting the IP address from which this form is sent so that
we can filter out replies sent from outside MIT, and this
information will be discarded before the data is analyzed. As this
is an otherwise anonymous survey and we are not collecting names,
we would appreciate your answering it once and only once.  

<p><b>In giving your answers think about how you have made use of
computing during the past month.</b>
