Another poll just for the sake of random curiosity....

Since I know people will ask: define 'computer' however you want to define it. For myself, I define it to exclude game systems (so, not NES, not that I had one) and single-purpose tools (so the Speak-n-Spell doesn't count ;) ).

EDIT: As several people have noted, I should have added an age question; since this was idle curiosity, I didn't think that far. Anyway, for reference, the average age of respondents so far seems to be 27-33, ish.

more on BSG

More BSG thoughts I typed out over lunch -- mostly things that the miniseries left me curious about/wanting to find out more about. While most of these are in the form of a question, please don't answer them! I want to find out for myself, without being spoiled. ;)

( spoilers for the miniseries )

follow-up

Due to popular demand, a follow-up poll to my previous poll -- to get some demographic datapoints. :)
