Don't let people in Cognitive Engineering hear you say that. :) Many people in that field think that "complex stuff is hard to learn" is a total cop-out. They're not saying that complex systems don't require learning. They're saying that anything that can be made intuitive should be, and anything that can't be should be designed in a consistent, orthogonal way so that you have to learn minimal things and that they quickly BECOME intuitive. -- Timothy Normand Miller http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~millerti Open Graphics Project _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
