We are in the process of completing our research into the very HOT Internet kiosk marketplace. Our next report will come out in late January, 1998 and has already generated considerable interest. We hope to cover your company's efforts in considerable detail but need your help. The more information you can provide, the more complete your coverage will be. I realize I'm asking a lot, but please take a few moments to fill in the answers to these questions and email them back to me as soon as possible. If you are able, could you also send (snail mail will do) a TIFF (or other print-quality) file or two of a representative screen that the user would see? It will be reproduced in its entirety, thereby offering yet another opportunity to "show your stuff". Thanks for all your help. Please contact me ([email protected]) or 301-670-0980 if you have any questions or if I can provide any assistance.
