	Dear P.C. user,

		I am conducting a survey of people who have recently purchased
	a personal computer. The survey is part of an effort to collect data for
	use in a class I will be teaching through the Northwest Y.M.C.A., "Buy-
	ing Your First Computer". The class will be oriented at providing the
	students with the knowledge necessary to understand the hardware, soft-
	ware, buzz words, comparison tables, and other assorted obstacles en-
	countered in choosing a personal computer. I have found that first hand
	data from P.C. users is one of the most accurate and valuable sources
	of information available. May I ask you to take a few minutes to fill 
	out the attached survey ? Your time spent will be greatly appreciated
	by many hungry minds. Thank you for your help.


						Sincerely,

						Philip L. Coulson


	P.S.- If you have any questions or would like to send me any supplem-
	      ental info (or if you prefer to talk about your system over the
	      phone) I can be reached at:
