-----Original Message----- From: Richard Smith I no longer need knobs to feel comfortable using a radio. I guess you just have to use it for a while to see what I mean. It is very intuitive, instantaneous and comfortable. Of course, you can add a knob or use the mousewheel to dial up frequencies and tune in stations the old fashioned way, but why? -------------------------
Rich has a very good point here. There is a tremendous momentum to "the way things have been". Basically, most of us are resistant to change. We're happy to have the new provided it looks / feels / works just like the old. But people can change and relearn. Those that go through the difficult process will often find that the new way is just as intuitive as the old and provides capabilities that the old way couldn't even dream about. When was the last time you played solitaire with a real deck of cards? For many of us, that game has become a Windows application and we happily play it with a mouse, not really missing the old way we used to play the game. - Keith N1AS - - K2 5411.ssb.100 - _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
