It is actually quite important to get the cockpit instrumentation right... I understand that the Apollo project put quite a lot of effort into the controls of the lunar lander. But I don't usually get offended. <sarcasm>Well, we all know this is "common sense" nowadays.</sarcasm> More the accumulated conclusions of several decades of designing GUI-based applications.

Well, yes, I could not agree more. But for many people (especially the visually-focussed, and that is common in the video editing profession) it is pictures of the application that will help them think through the application design. It doesn't need to be pretty, or even too close to the end result, but it does help the discussion. -- Regards, Martin ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) IT: http://methodsupport.com Personal: http://thereisnoend.org
