EEVblog Viewer Poll
Posted on May 13th, 2010 13 commentsJust a quick poll to gauge the electronics knowledge and industry experience of the EEVblog audience. This is important for the blog and potential industry support.
1 question, 10 options, easy peasy, thanks!http://www.polljunkie.com/mA7P5o/Poll7579.aspx

UPDATE: The previous SurveyMonkey forum spat the dummy at 100 responses, so I’ve had to re-run this to avoid potentially skewed data. So if everyone could re-enter again that would be great, thanks!
Previous RESULTS
