Hello everybody,
As many of you probably remember, few months ago I'd posted some
questions regarding the Net on my master's questionnaire. I'd already received
many interesting
answers and many of you asked
me to post the results of the survey, so, here I'm posting the result of my
questionnaire.
I also want to say my thanks to all respondents who had responded to my
questionnaire and also for
some special persons who had been my respondents on interviews.
FYI I had finished my master thesis and had passed my last defense on 17 Dec
1998.
Here I quote few lines from the acknowledgements page of my thesis report:
"Here, I devote this page to everyone who had helped and supported during all
process in working
with this thesis...............Special thanks are due to all my friends:
- All virtual friends, especially so many respondents who had responded to my
survey questionnaire.
- John Keoni Porter, Alan Sondheim, Thiar Sitorus, Stephen Quondam Lauf,
Duncan McCargo, and
Alex Baidin, for being very helpful and cooperative in the interviewing process
(virtual
interviews)..........."
best regards,
Lynn
