Week of April 21, 1997

Many surveys over the years have been done on the topic of legalized gambling. It's an issue that many people have strong opinions on. It generally boils down to one of two things; either folks support it, or they don't. How about you? Are you an advocate of legalized gambling, is it a worthwhile form of entertainment/business, or do you feel we're much better off without it?

Total Votes Cast: 560
Yes, I support legalized gambling 372 votes 66%
No, I'm against legalized gambling 188 votes 34%







Week of April 14, 1997

Back in January, we asked what services of the Internet (WWW, Email, Usenet, etc.) you generally use the most (see the past poll results for January 20, 1997). This week, let's try to find out how much time we spend using the 'Net overall. On average, about how many hours per week do you spend using the Internet? (please take into account all the ways you use the 'Net such as surfing the World Wide Web, re ading/writing email, posting/lurking on Usenet, chatting on IRC, downloading files, etc)

Total Votes Cast: 522
less than 1 hour per week 5 votes 1%
1-2 hours per week 18 votes 3%
3-6 hours per week 50 votes 10%
7-13 hours (1-2 hours per day) 118 votes 23%
14-20 hours (2-3 hours per day) 96 votes 18%
