Survey
I would like to make an informal survey to determine the most popular
platforms today and how chemists are using their computational resources.
I have no ulterior motives, other than perhaps, how to best target
building an Argus user interface to make the program easier to use.
I GUARANTEE ANONYMITY! I will tally the responses and erase the
respondees' email messages.
I'll summarize the numerical results to the bulletin board.
I think everyone would benefit from this information.
I encourage you all to respond. It will only take a few seconds
of your time.
Respond directly to me. Use the single word "Survey" in the subject
line of your email response.
This is a non-commercial survey!
Thanks, in advance, you for your time.
