Actually, since the roll and scroll does not follow the usual method of moving around that users are familiar with, the easier to learn would be the GUI for new users and I would argue that doing the M2WEB registration should be a top priority to get a GUI type method of navigation up and running for easy adoption in the emergency situation.
Registration enhanced to capture enough information to match victims up with separated family members by bringing all of the various sites information together in one robust M database would be a lovely enhancement that I suspect would be very much appreciated. A GUI for registration that was straight forward enough so that displaced persons who are able to type could enter their own data to populate this database would be even better.

Also, although laptops are nice, organizations like VA and DoD will have plenty of surplus PCs. You can actually get a usable small system with 128MB of RAM and a 300MHz CPU (obviously more RAM and faster CPU is better), and a few tens of GB of disk. In field conditions, it probably also makes sense to just use a character mode CPRS rather than a GUI, if such a thing exists. It's the KISS principle. -- Bhaskar On Fri, 2005-09-09 at 16:24 -0500, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > This could be done easily enough with the right impetus.
