Hello Bas,
I wonder who your audience is aside from not having seen a computer
before and why they are interacting with your interface. The one

Hi all,
On the heels of Maurice's question about UI/UX/IxDA groups in Toronto,
and Matthew and Mario's excellent answers, I was wondering what formal
UI/UX/IxDA educational opportunities are available in Toronto. I've
checked our list archives, at

The above ideas are fantastic. I'd also add that you could show
common tasks and goals and associate them with the appropriate
software package. Users purchase software to solve a problem - give
them some examples of problems they can solve with each of your
products.

This is something that I've run into before, and here are my thoughts

We're working on building some personas for some desktop software.
I've been going over Todd Warfel's template and Steve Mulder's
