What doesn't exist is even less usable than what does exist but is hard to find. Therefore, I claim that a poorly-designed menu, but with all options, is more usable for a particular subset of users that does not include mythical grandmothers than a better designed menu that strips off half the options. Having to manually add hundreds of options to a menu, for each and every user, is hardly helpful. A simple on/off switch would indeed be useful -- and I don't even care what the default is, so long as the switch is easy to find. -- The biometric identification system at the gates of the CIA headquarters works because there's a guard with a large gun making sure no one is trying to fool the system. http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2009/01/biometrics.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
