I'm doing research on the usability and feasibility of expert systems on
personal computers such as the Apple Macintosh and the IBM PC. 

There are certainly limitations due to memory size and time efficiency. What are
typical problems when developing and/or using a PC based expert system? What do
users (not only developers) think about expert systems on PCs? What domain
solutions are successfully realized on a PC? Are the users satisfied with the
features and efficiency or are such  systems 'just expensive toys'?

The main goal of this survey is to get an overview of how useful and successful
expert system implementations on PCs are. 

Any contribution and comments are appreciated. I plan to  post a summary of the
results on this newsgroup.

Thanks, Parvis.
