2007 Postscript The original document mentioned Daniel Nguyen in the
acknowledgements. I thank him again for digitising the document after somehow managing to find it after all these years.
Some of the percentages are so small that they could not have possibly come from a survey of 25 people… which leads me to think that in some questions, respondents were allowed to choose more than one response, which invalidates the use of pie charts pretty badly.
On a similar note, some of the responses ended up being much smaller than the “Other” category, so I have taken the liberty of merging them into the “Other” category.
The numbers used in this presentation are by no means accurate. For quite a few charts, I simply held up my old faded protractor against the screen and measured the angles.
