Or maybe I did, and thought he was a little off-base. His scenario
had nothing to do with anything Aunt Tillie would ever encounter.
Eric makes some valid comments, but he needs to realize that Aunt
Tillie will be plugging her printer directly into her machine, rather
than running ethernet between her client and server that she decided
to set up one afternoon out of the blue. The solution to the UI
problem is much more involved than a simple attitude adjustment on the
part of the developers.
And that, folks, is how we spin a thread off-topic!
