Dear GVSU,
You're questions seem a bit vague to this forum. Who is your intended user? If you're considering multiple users, could you be specific.
I'm not sure what your field of study is, but this is an orchid growing forum (and orchids aren't usually grown in open fields, nor in dirt.) Are you looking for a specialized opinion, or are you just shot-gunning your information gathering, hoping to get lucky?
Knowing what experience you're hoping to tap will make it easier for one to know whether one's background is appropriate to respond.
Julie
