Whoa! 15 open tabs?

But I seldom find anyone who does use that on Windows. Anyhow, it seems to me that UI is more like something that we are used to. There may be patterns or something but I guess that there's more to learn about very usable UI. It is quite subjective, I guess. So how does one gauge the usability of the UI? In this case, _some_ of the library users don't seem very comfortable with computers in the first place. MS Windows and other proprietary apps are the only ones that they are used to seeing, but not necessarily be even using. How does one teach a person new to computers how to be comfortable with the UI? I guess that that question is something that bugs me more. -- Clair Ching librarian, bookworm, information gatherer, anime fan, linux newbie http://clair.free.net.ph - blog about linux, emacs planner, tech and culture http://clair.pinoyweb.net - daily journal, stories, miscellany _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
