For example when bringing out a New OS they have to change things we've taken time to learn, just to make the UI less user friendly. Once a GUI was a joy to use, now it has become a PITA, all style over substance, and where each new version is changed to make things a bit less user friendly. The same applies to many applications. But then I'm a cynic... ;-) Dave -- Dave Triffid

But then, computers isn't the only thing that when they trumpet "We've improved it!!!!!" it means "Watch out, they've ruined it (and probably taken away the features you liked best....)" :-( bj |
