My  observation is that 
many older folks find this very intimidating and  confusing, and they just 
plain can't read the small 
fonts. I think there's  a good middle-ground philosophy with anything 
involving a computer -- and  
Apple actually hits this much more often than the Windows world, but no  one 
hits it often enough. I 
think every step of computer interface design,  whether it be web page 
creation or software 
authoring, needs to be brutal  about simplicity. I just don't think most 
people want too many options 
or  complex instructions per screen-view. So it's OK to have plenty of 
options  available, but they 
shouldn't all be presented at  once.



To which I say Amen.  I'm 74, raised in the 78 to CD era, and  knowledgeable 
in tape formats.  But some of the computer software is  confusing for one who 
was dragged into the computer era kicking and  screaming.  Thanks for your 
comments!
