--------------------- What do you think of say AJAX or jQuery? Purely presentation right? What good is that anyway? The people who put in the time to identify that a change is needed had a reason. Sometimes it is output is not worth the effort but people keep putting in the time to make things better. Why do the car companies keep changing the way a car model looks on the inside as well as exterior? Is it that their designers are finding a better way to do something? Or is it just to make a new commercial? I can say that the more the typical user is use to pretty interfaces that guide them, the harder you are going to have. You are missing the connection from the experience from the application. Application is transportation between here and there. Experience is getting into this car or that one. Home decoration as well as cooking are much in the same game. The more things change the more they stay the same. The application is always there, I need to eat or sit down and watch a movie. The experience is the difference. Learn to roll with the experience. Your customers will love the ride. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer CIMSgts 901.246-0159 cell _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
