People who post on this list or email you are not a very reliable way to get UI feedback; that's why HCI people extol measures like tape-recording a user fumbling through software for the first time - to see what the newbie doesn't see or later forgets. -- gwern --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mnemosyne-proj-users" group.
