www.lochalpine.org Computing Survey
It’s not too late to submit your survey; I will adjust the totals to reflect your input. Simply send the survey to me or drop it in my mailbox.
This survey was distributed at the annual meeting. Thanks to all the respondents for taking time to fill out the survey and thanks to Craig Penrose for tallying the results. Your answers to these questions will help us make sure the site is “user-friendly” for Loch Alpine residents. Please submit suggestions, material, questions and/or comments about the site to Paul Kazanjian (kazanjia@med.umich.edu). (Last update: )
