1. Chrome 2. iPad Mini - Portrait for eBooks, Landscape for browser 3. Desktop - Iā€™m strictly a mouse type guy. I just donā€™t get along with touch screens. Editorial: My pet peeve is the dumbing down of apps to get people into the ā€œtabletā€ frame of mind and ā€œmatchā€ software between tablet and desktopā€¦ ie: the dumbing down of Pages (especially the removal of so many scripting components) ---

Interesting that Iā€™m getting a lot of Safari. I thought Iā€™d get more Chrome. Desktop makes sense for this group as we all work in front of our computers. Yesterday more landscape viewā€¦ today Iā€™m getting more portrait. Keep 'em coming šŸ™‚ I find the extra comments interesting as well, so feel free. thx ---

@instacks There are plenty of ways to see what others are doing, as you posted yesterday. I am specifically curious about RW users, because we are all on Macs we have choices to not use Safari. Iā€™ve recently started with Pinterest and might use Chrome more now because of the extension. ā€¦and I hope no one is using IE, anywhere in the world lol, if they have a choice. ---

Lisa, I think all those who use a desktop or a laptop computer for viewing websites must use landscape mode rather than portrait. Mistakenly, I wrote ā€œportraitā€ myself initially and then corrected that to ā€œlandscapeā€. Perhaps more people made that same mistake? Or, they forgot that this poll is for ā€œweb usersā€ and not for ā€œweb developersā€? šŸ˜‰ ---
