The CEASE Project Notebook is still online:
http://web.mit.edu/cease/www/
It carefully reviewed every aspect before committing to a course of
action.
I think the project was done so carefully because it represented a
change from,
SGI as showpiece of Athena, to no support at a time when Athena did a
LOT of hand-holding of Faculty.
In the project notebook I see reference to a Survey, but I cannot
find the survey itself.
Perhaps I missed it by scanning too fast.
