Re: [RC] Spiffy new look to the website! OR Broad & Shallow vs. Narrow & Deep - Linda Mirams

I kinda think maybe I understood a little bit of what you said.  I must 
say I don't enjoy browzing the new classified format nearly as much as I 
did the old because it's just too much work to get down to the pertinent 
info: size, age and then back out. But I've gotten brainwashed I guess 
into accepting that fancier set ups like the new version are what the 
web will look like.  Since I only window shop, I'll just probably do 
less of it since it isn't as much fun any more.

It's OK.  I know something that may help convince John :-)

John, draw a finite state diagram of the user's interaction with
the old interface, then draw one of the new interface.

That is what the Xerox PARC computer-human interface people do.
The more nodes, the more loops, the less symmetric the picture,
the worse the interface is.
