An excellent recommendation. Tufte's second book, "Envisioning Information," actually has some material on computer/user interface design: see chapter 5, "Color and Information." Whereas his first book, "Visual Display..." gave advice on how to depict numeric data, "Envisioning Information" tells how to effectively display nonnumerics. Finally, I cannot over-recommend the wonderful Interface Hall of Shame: http://www.iarchitect.com/mshame.htm I won't say more about the site ... just take a look! --Sean To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
