Final results of the survey on Sprinter's video output.
ZXNet echo conference «zx.spectrum»
From Andrew Savichev → To All 8 February 1998
Hi, All!
So, the survey on the Sprinter video output is completed.
It was conducted over 2 weeks, from January 22 to February 6, 1998.
Thanks to everyone who sent letters and answered questions, I hope this
will be perceived by the developers of video systems for the Spectrum as a kind of
order. Although the number of respondents does not allow us to guarantee that exactly
this percentage of potential buyers want to have a modern monitor (albeit more expensive) to work with
Spectrum.
In total, 10 letters were received + 1 vote is mine :).
Geography:

Moscow - 3;
Kharkov - 2;

the second one obviously responds from a computer
at work)

Comment:
----------
11 out of 200 (estimated number of subscriberszx.spectrum);
geography, as you can see, is very wide ;) ;
Spectrums - almost all except ATM and Pro;
8 out of 11 have memory > 512Kb;
The most interested in the Sprinter, as I expected, are virtuals,
and among naturals, owners of Spectrum-48 and Pentagon -128, converted into 512 ;
! 8:3 in favor of supporters of modern monitors!
Sincerely, Andrey Savichev / CGS
