+Subfield of neuroscience: ``MRI, EEG, MEG, electrophys. ...``
+Position: ``undergraduate, phd student, postdoc, professor/supervisor, sysadmin``
+employer: ``higher education (private/public funding), research facility
+(private/public funding, company)``
+country: ``long list``
+
+Personal computing environment
+------------------------------
+
+Here are a few questions about your preferred computing environment for
+research activities like data acquisition and data analysis. This might be your
+laptop, desktop, personal workstation or any other machine where **you decide**
+what software you are using, and you have permission to install it yourself.
+If you are using multiple environment, please describe the one that you find
+most productive for research purposes. If you don't have access to a machine
+for research purposes that you administer yourself, instead, please indicate
+what kind of environment you would like to be doing your research in.
+
+Type: ``laptop, commodity desktop, dedicated workstation,
+compute cluster, grid/cloud computing environment``
+
+Operating system: ``detailed choice, long list``
+
+I prefer this environment because is offers (check all items that apply):
+
+``checkboxes (variety of available software; hardware support; ...)``
+
+
+Institutionally provided computing environment
+----------------------------------------------
+
+The following questions are about
+What your employer offers.
+
+Type: ``laptop, commodity desktop, dedicated workstation,
+compute cluster, grid/cloud computing environment``
+
+Operating system: ``detailed choice, long list``
+
+I dislike (check all items that apply):
+
+``checkboxes (limited set of available software; slow admin response; ...)``
+
+Virtualization
+--------------
+
+Do you use it:
+
+IF
+~~
+
+What solution: ``multi select vbox, vmware, kvm, xem, qemu``
+On what host system: ``detailed list``
+With what client system ``detailed list``
+
+Why do you use it:
+
+Otherwise incompatible with my system
+Flexible snapshots
+Portable
+
+What fraction of computing task do you do in a VM?
+
+
+Software usage
+--------------
+
+What software are you using in your research?
+
+General purpose computing
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``check boxes``
+
+Matlab, R, Python, Octave, ...
+
+``various collections of software for various purposes``
