Survey - About your Macs & software

I thought to see which Macs and software are most popular, I'll run this survey. A month later I'll show you the results, but if you e-mail me, you can have your results whenever you want... your choice.
Thanks!

Should open in a new window...

Instead of devising a survey with answers that are limited in their scope and ignore popular alternatives, why wouldn't you just use a site like iusethis to see what people are actually using?

that survey could of been put together better. you ask for chat apps, but only allow one to be selected, so i had to use the other to tell you which apps i used. and then with upgrading, i don't fit in to any of the catiorys as you have them. i always get each release, but its most of the time not untill it is one or two releases old. as for hardware, its when i have enouph saved up, and then its about 4 years old, and only if i really can justify the upgrade. now that i have a native g4 with upgraded cpu, i most likly won't be buying a newer mac until this one dies, or that i've had it for 10 years.

Sorry about that, I actually just meant _one_ app, made a typo.

You're right, I should have done more options, sorry but I can't make any changes to it anymore now.

One thing is, how can I make a survey out of that? And two: I wanted to make it for macosx.com only, so...
