| Hi All,
| 
| I've written an article on User Interface Design from a bit different
| perspective than most developers, given my background.
| 
| If you develop user interfaces, or even design output layouts, you might
| want to consider what I offer as additional information to consider that
| may make your software more efficient to use, and thus more cost effective.
| 
| The article is free, and totally unrelated to any product I offer.  It's
| meant to assist people by providing another viewpoint, pure and simple.
| 
| If interested, you may obtain the article at:

| Bests,

Well, in my book, the article fails to itself have a good user interface.

The black text on cloudy gray background is distasteful to the eye.

In many years of displaying PDF files, never have I seen one which
took as long to display page one, and then endless seconds to move
between pages (using xpdf on a quiescent machine).

Eventually the semantic import does add up, but it's a hard slog.
