At the risk of offending someone - computers (and the K3 has a certain
amount of that) should be programmed to serve humanity and not the
other way around.
I've been in IT 39 years and there was a time when I accepted that a
human might have to work a certain way or act a certain way in order
for the computer program to best succeed.
This is no longer the case and I don't accept that any program is so
limited that it makes it difficult for the human.
This is what the basis of all modern computing should be. That goes
for the K3 too, which by the way I love and am NOT complaining about,
but I would prefer some form of confirmation step before I overwrite a
memory.
This does not need to be a sting of 'Are You Sure', 'Are You Really
Sure You Want To", 'Are you sure you DONT want too'! - just something
like a contiguous two button press or one button twice is sufficient
and that should be configurable for those that don't want that feature.
