The hardest thing, from a usability perspective, we've had to deal with on that project is getting away from the folders metaphor. We needed to have a hierarchical system of storing things, but didn't want to use folders and the hope was to simplify it. I don't know yet if we met that objective. The therapists like it but I'm not honestly crazy about what we came up with (I guess they're what matters). At the end of the day there are not a lot of options for doing away with UNIX concept of folders that contain files and other folders. >> Parents who don't understand usability concepts, and parents who might prefer emotional color schemes, roll overs and animations that make it harder on their kids. Exactly. I'm looking forward to getting the book. These days I'm finding a lot of value in older books, ones that have been around for a while, even though the tech has changed. If a book can still hold up after the technology moves on, that is a pretty good indicator it is a winner.
