first, purpose drives technology. thinking first about what would be clever
marketing and try to form fit the technolgy to it is a losing concept. either
that or the justin bieber desktop would be the best thing ever.
just look at the thread on kde-promo ... the relevant phrase is "tail wagging
dog".
if you ever feel it is important to CC a marketing list when thinking about
discussing technology, delete the email (or whatever) immediately, think it
through a bit more and send it to the relevant tech list instead with actual
content.
so ...
there are no "basics".
never have been.
never will be.
i respect and admire the desire to make things better. that's always a good
thing. but what thing(s) should be better?
you mention at some point the mouse/keyboard driven concept (because we've
obviously lef that behind or something apparently) and that is perhaps a good
start. so WHAT aspect of mouse/keyboard interaction could be improved?
