different meaning.
Shouldn't users use a nice dynamic widget to select dates and times?
That will prevent all these problems.
Hell no. :)
It's much more efficient for a trained user to type '2005-08-08' instead
of having to click for 2 minutes through a "usable nice widget".
BTW: The best UI I ever worked with was an ASCII terminal-software where
one should select menu entries by typing their numbers. I could
blindfoldedly navigate through that system much faster than most of the
software I use today ...
