Abstract :
The results of an in-depth survey conducted to determine the role IBM-compatible and Macintosh computers play in the daily lives of IEEE Spectrum readers is presented. About 45% of the respondents were in management; 9% were in general or corporate management, and the majority were engineering managers or project leaders/engineers. About 20% of the respondents were involved with R&D or design and development, either as managers or hands-on engineers. Among the many findings summarized here, the survey shows that most of the respondents use high-end personal computers, but more for business than for engineering.<>
