I've been using computers for about 11 years now (still student...) and the first thing my father tells me if I can't use an application just right out-of-the-box is "Read the manuals!". I always answer: "If I need to read the manual to do simple tasks, the products isn't good!" This sounds ridiculous but has been true till today. Some hints at the right place always help to make reading (online) manuals superflous. The more intuitive a product is the better the users will think about it! >Daniel Yarhi dyarhi@gate.net >HomePage: http://www.gate.net/~aylacorp/loras.htm Ciao, Philipp!
