It would also be helpful for entering the racks as you are following along with a game. I was trying to do that with Jim Kramer's "man v. machine" match last month and it was quite laborious to say the least. And too easy to unintentionally get blanks or have the wrong tile a blank.
Using a laptop with no mouse didn't help, either. ----- Original Message ----- From: John Hart To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, December 22, 2006 1:46 AM Subject: [quackle] Re: could 'Human w/ Unknown Racks' be for BOTH players? Right, thanks. If the field were blank to begin with, which is what 'Human with Unknown Racks' would seem to imply, there wouldn't be any need to click, double-click, triple-click, click & drag, backspace, or do anything other than simply type in my rack. That's the kind of "ease of use" I'm requesting for post-mortem.
