RE: UKNM: Usability and design...

[Dave Ellender]

	Usability is a goal, a moving target.


	Good design, in its broad sense of human-computer interaction, aims

to discover what users want to achieve (say, book a flight ticket within

five minutes), implements a way of doing this and then measures to see if it

is being achieved.


	The internet is democratising this design process! Any dotcom that

does not realise this will go bust!!
