Really? I thought it was always about making everything work so that it was not _necessary_ to tweak it, which of course doesn't mean that people would not _want_ to tweak it. Most stuff that people seem to want in terms of flexibility tend to be indeed stuff they would _prefer_ instead of really _need_ (and thus any reply with "no, it works fine this way" causes them to get annoyed and start throwing the "usability" word around ;). Focus on getting to the goal and the tool to get there will be insignificant (as it should be). -- Kalle Vahlman, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Powered by http://movial.fi Interesting stuff at http://syslog.movial.fi _______________________________________________ Usability mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/usability
