I largely agree with your sentiment and I like the enormous power that the UNIX way lets you do things, even if I end up doing 'rm -rf /' on rare occasions. However, I believe the ideal that UI technology should be aiming for is the 'get out of my way and just do what I mean' principle, which can include letting me change my mind as I like. The idea that a UI needs to 'learnt' suggests to me that the UI is flawed. Of course, by that principle every UI currently in existence is flawed... But perhaps I just watch too much Star Trek ;-) -- ehjones ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ehjones's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5218 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43291 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
