Limitation of the WIMP (?!?!?!) Paradigm (?!) that's a problem?
yes. i got that from retired apple engineers. windows copied the interface from the mac and they say the wimp ui paradigm is a dead end. i agree. i am overwhelmed by multiple windows all the time and i spend a lot of my time shuffling windows around. plus its a bitch to program. the whole thing is a big complicated mass of code. You think the MS engineers take this as a piece of cake? Can you remember even half of the 1500 commands the latest office put in there? You think a regular human being can use all those 1500 commands? Can anyone verify that all those millions of lines of code behave properly? is that 17 inch monitor you are using enough for all your applications? im sure its not. you like going through the new ms ribbon? and how do you find your files? you see i find it all a clunky complicated way to do anything. with a typewriter i get a piece of paper and type away. with a computer its not that easy. and not that intuitive. its even easier to get a piece of paper and write this down instead of going to a computer and going through the menu then wait .... and the best answer i get for that is just get a pen and paper... puhhhleeez!!! i help my father use his windows pc and im just sick of it. unacceptable. totally unacceptable. -- things i hate about my linux pc: 1. it takes more than a second to boot up 2. keeps asking about filenames and directories 3. does not remember what i was working on yesterday 4. does not remember all the changes i have ever made 5.cannot figure out necessary settings by itself _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
