So my brother is graduating from high school this year, and is heading off the college, something I finished just a year ago. So I was thinking, what in the world should I get him for a graduation present? A powered scooter? A 500-pak of condoms? A GC at the local liq? A fake id?

While all would be useful, I figured the best gift would be one of information. I decided to construct a survey to distribute to my friends, and then compile the results into a short book, a manual, if you will, for successful college survival. The questions would range from how best to get through classes, what to do during an all-nighter, what type of women to look for and what types to avoid...

Anyway, I was wondering how I should do this. It might be a good idea to do a web-entry system, but then any schmo could stumble onto it, and then, of course, I'd get millions of idiot submissions. Would an Excel sheet be the best way to do it? Some sort of database frontend?

I'm not especially IT-hip, so this has to be relatively easy. Any ideas, folks?

A greatful pennypinch...

are you asking for the advice or a way of managing/submiting it??


I just had an idea, you know those popsicles that have jokes on the stick, how about condom with advice on them when you unroll them! hehe

WOW!
That's a really great idea for a present. Sorry I can't give you any ideas on how you would go about doing it, but it sounds like one hell of a present. I'd like a copy myself when it's done. I'll certainly help answering the questions. I think I might have some helpful tips I could give...

Thats a great idea Hapoo! However since he's going to be a freshman in college, he'll probably never see it!

Give me you e-mail. I'll forward you a copy of the survey, and a copy of the final report, if you want.
