For anyone who's interested in the results before they got wiped, what I
recall is that around half said they would never try it, a quarter said
they'd try it later.

Among those who had tried it, three times as many said it was ready than
said it needed a lot of work. And those who said in needed a little work
were between the other two groups.

For raw numbers, the only one I remember is that 12 said it was ready. I'm
a little slow with math, so I'll stop here.
