I have a colleague who introduced the word "useworthy" as possibly a
more interesting concept than useable - this goes well with this comment
I think:-)
Best wishes!

Subject: Difficult Interface Paradox
In response to Gunnar's comment about the young male on Everest and easy
to use UI.
Violins.
Very hard to master. Impossible to teach via language alone. A dreadful
UI.
And yet the epitome of man machine interface on a musical level.
A songalong keyboard. Easy to learn and dreadful musically.
Does this paradox reflect design tuition? And research thereof?
