I didn't get very much useful data because only 24 people responded, and most of
the answers were either almost unanimous (and unsurprising) or completely
random. The main surprises were:

1) Only a small percentage of even "hard-core" computer chess enthusiasts have
ever used the opening book editor.

2) Nobody has ever changed the "wallpaper" in the room, and many people did not
even know that it could be done.

3) Almost everybody uses the 2D Black and White Figurine piece set (the same one
that I use).

That's really about it. Not much of use, except as, perhaps, an amusement.
