I work for NOP Research (National Opinion Polls). We are seeking, through computer user groups, to hold short meetings with people aged 20 to 49 who have purchased a new (or as new)laptop computer since January 2001. The purpose is to find out what 'private' (as opposed to corporate) purchasers of Laptops are seeking and whether their purchase met their needs. I can arrange to visit at any reasonable time and location between the 6th and 18th August to attend these 'one to one' meetings. We are also offering a £5 Marks and Spencers voucher as a small 'reward' for any of your members willing to participate. If you could pass this request on to your mailing group, I would be most grateful. I can be reached via email at don_spillman@hotmail.com or on one of the two phone numbers below.

I have some answers to some of the questions raised by various people.
Sizes: can go up to 52 inch chest as standard (i.e. in stock) but have supplied bigger!! (I don't know if this affects the price, they didn't say).
Colours: White, Navy blue, Sunflower yellow, Black, Bottle green, Red, Burgundy, Royal blue, Natural, Ash, Heather
Styles: we can have any mix of colours, sizes, and polo or sweatshirts as long as the order is for a minimum of 10 garments (oh, and they need to know if they are men's or women's)
Price: they quoted £14 for poloshirts and £15 for sweatshirts
Logo: my suggestion is for Tux with ALUG beneath and Anglian Linux User Group beneath that. This would be about 10 cms square over the left breast. If we had the text in something like light blue then it would show up on both light and dark colours, except light blue of course :o) (the suppliers say they are happy to take the graphics from the web site - I would want to see a sample 1st before agreeing to the order).
Please let me know if you're interested and what your requirements are and we'll see if we have enough interest to proceed;
e.g. I'm interested in two garments; one Navy Blue man's sweatshirt for a 38" chest and one White man's polo shirt for a 38" chest.
