sorry but this survey is flawed already. The demographics of ocuk are enthusiasts especially people who stay on forums and lurk/post.

Likely that one of the write up questions is explain any possible bias in your results and evaluate how this could be improved in the future. In that case ocuk is perfect!

Yup, I did enough of these at school :p The vast majority of them you have to flaw your own survey to be able to answer another question.
 
1) 1.5k
2) Combined
3) 5-6 years (or until it starts to feel slow or I know I can get a massive amount of performance out of a new machine)
4) About 30
