I'm interested in experiences with specific projects or topic areas,
in research or development, that dealt with human-computer interface
topics and ended up absorbing a huge amount of time and/or other resources
without reaching the expected goals.  This is of course somewhat more
acceptable in research than in development environments.  While you may reply
to this list if you think it of general interest and not sensitive, I will
be glad to maintain confidentiality for examples sent to me at:
jgrudin@daimi.aau.dk  or  grudin.chi@xerox.com  on Internet.
