I am aware some similar questions have been asked here in the past, but this is more in depth, and more importantly, it's being asked now. This is just a survey being used for a couple of website study purposes.

• 1) What is your...
• screen resolution (e.g. 1024 x 768 pixels) 1152x864
• operating system (e.g. MS DOS 4.0) Mac OSX 10.2.x
• web browser (if you use more than one, list them in order of use)
  Safari beta version .73 (LONG LIVE RESET SAFARI!)
  Firebird beta version .7
  Camino beta version .9
  Internet Exploder 5 (my default if I'm using a non-mac computer)
• browser's Javascript handling (i.e. do you enable it?) I enable it
• browser's cookie handling (i.e. what permissions do you use?) I quote from my preferences, "Only accept cookies from sites you navigate to". Oh, and I use Safari's pop up blocker. I haven't seen a pop up since I started using it.
• connection speed (e.g. 14.4 dial-up modem) It fluctuates, really. I pay for 512/128, but I get as high as 1152/618. I have 6 computers--including my server--hooked up right now. At the moment, I'm at 423/420.

• 2) List any general preferences you have for a website and why (e.g. 'I hate Flash, and you shouldn't use it because...' or 'never use a fixed-width or framed site because' or 'W3 what? Who cares?')

• 3) What sites (other this this one) do you consider to be good FIRST sites and why? Providing examples helps.

If you do use flash, make two seperate webpages--HTML and flash. Everybody loves forums and interactivity. Open
source is the way to go. NO FRAMES.

As for sites...well, CD is great. I love our team's site, which is under redesign and is now being pointed at our school's tech center webpage. www.firstubergeeks.com is a great site--I use their link database program.


Leave anything you don't know or care to answer blank. Thanks.
