The questions for the survey are arranged into the following categories:

How to Access the Information
For most questions, there are five graphs and tables available:- All - the entire sample
- Location - US vs Europe vs Other (the rest of the world)
- Gender - Male vs Female
- Age - 11-20 yrs vs 21-25 vs 26-50 vs 50+
- Experience - <1yr online vs 1-3 yrs vs >3 yrs
Almost all graphs are jpeg files. The statistics as well as the HTML and jpeg files were all created using SPSS 8.0 for WinNT. Some graphs in the Electronic Commerce section were created with Excel 98 and are GIFs.
There are two different styles of data tables due to a limitation of the software used to create them. The regular HTML-style tables were generated from radio button questions (i.e. choose one answer). The ascii-style tables were generated from checkbox questions (i.e. choose all that apply). For tables which represent different stratifications, different groups are reported one after the other (i.e. A section for "Male" responses followed by a section for "Female" responses). For some stratifications, there is a section for "." which indicates that the value used for stratification was missing. For example, people who did not specify their gender and couldn't be placed into the Male or Female categories would be put into this "missing" category.
