One of the low-life plebs of one of the client co's has been on the dog complaining that he can't find things he want's.
Pleb: "Have you heard of something called Bloomberg?"
HAB: "Aye."
Pleb: "Why can't you make it look and work just like Bloomberg?"
HAB: "For a start I don't want to be sued for copyright. That interface is legacy. I'm not really doing the same thing."
Pleb: "But I know how to get what I want there"
HAB: "What do you want to do?"
Pleb: "I want ......"
HAB: "To do what?
Pleb: "To produce ...."
HAB: "You mean, just like <facility>?"
Pleb: "Hang on. Oh yeah. Oh that's good. I see. I can......"
I might be crap at doing all this really fancy UI stuff, but there is no way am I going back to a MS/DOS or VDU screen system.
