Well no single UI, or any technology really, is going to suit _everyone_. There is some evidence though, that you are in the vanishingly small minority on this one, Larry. :-) My parents are technopeasants. Their VCR blinked 12:00 for decades. The entire personal computer revolution swirled around them but they missed the first four decades of it. So when I delivered the version one iPad to them on the day that it became available, this represented the first time that they had had a computer in front of them let alone actually *use* one. Today I exchange email with them, they surf the web for medical information, lookup the weather and watch the Royal goings-on on Youtube. (I hope they haven't seen the naked Prince yet!) They grumble about the touch display a bit (so I added the keyboard stand for them), but I'm greatly relieved I never had to teach them how to use a mouse. By the way, my mother is 91, my father 89. -- -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
