Thanks Sean for posting this.  Though it does not deal at all with business
geographics or social science apps, there is some marvelously useful data
here on the usage of formats and the top applications of GIS.  To help folks
find the 1997 results, here's the direct link
http://grid2.cr.usgs.gov/survey/97survey/results.html , and I hope surfers
will also take the time to visit the root URL and link to other valuable
resources.  Thanks again.
