Beverly,
Yes, I am going to publish - free of charge - the results. I'm a true
believer in the open-source concept. My plan is to close the poll on 1-
SEP. but if you still find it hard to believe, I'd be happy to share
the current results with you - that simple :)
Samantha,
I must agree with you. Thanks for explaining your point - I've added
this option in the survey (the longer version). I think my mistake is
that I assumed people coming to the survey will not be aware enough to
the MTM options. In a way this mistake is coming from the fact that I
used to work in OptiTex for many years, and even pattern makers were
not aware pf the MTM concept. The whole idea of the work is coming
from this experience - from the question are people really ready to
except the technologies?
Thanks for the invitation to stay - I think I'll accept it :)
