Good idea. I think people have gotten lazy when it comes to computers. If
what they are doing is not immediately obvious then somehow they think the
program is broken. The current mindset is that if you have to read
instructions, it is too complicated. They are willing to sacrifice
fine-grained control for simplicity. All one has to do is READ the
directions and dselect becomes very easy to use ... but that is the part
they all skip.
