Karsten, Your point is very well taken. For your situation (and perhaps many others), web-based systems will have to change quite a bit more to reach the threshold of "usable". In the meantime, if we can have a time-based requirement document, then we will be able to objectively evaluate how far/close we are to "usable". This documention can include maximum number of seconds required to perform xyz function, for example. What do you think? Best regards, Andrew --- Andrew P.
