"Ease of use" encompasses a lot of things beside the ergo aspects, though; and the non-ergo aspects can be much more prominent--especially when the thing is bolted/tied down like it was in the displays I've seen at Best Buy and other similar stores. This in-store experience is always terrible from an ergo perspective--but it's hard to notice the ergo problems of the *device* itself when the store's tie-downs have already brought the sum experience down to `pessimum'. It's sort-of like those Bose speaker showcases, except in reverse.... I think my wife suggested that we could just buy each and find out, experimentally, which was more likely to be dropped and broken-- and then keep only the one that faired better. -- "Don't be afraid to ask (λf.((λx.xx) (λr.f(rr))))." _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
