[ From a mail exchange. >> is me; > is ytsai@attunix, the person who posted the announcement that started this off. ] (The topic is a study that shows some OL-based GUI to be the "best" GUI according to some measure, when compared with Presentation Manager and Motif, on a specific user classification mix. Aside from all the other flaws with this argument, I said....) >> Besides, we all know that studies are like benchmarks - look hard >> enough and you can always find some that can be construed to support >> your case. If I cared enough to bother I would even write to the PM >> and Motif people and ask them about studies supporting their UIs as >> "the best".

It is not clear what he[%] means by "this message" - his letter to me or the letter I proposed sending. [%] His signature gives his name as "Charles"; I assume he's a man. In either case, here it is. Okay, PM and Motif fans, what studies can you cite to support your side of this argument? (I don't really care about the OL family versus the Motif family versus PM versus whatever else; as far as I'm concerned they're all the same. So I don't care enough to look "hard enough".) der Mouse old: mcgill-vision!mouse new: mouse@larry.mcrcim.mcgill.edu
