[QUOTE="jdiffend, post: 9809, member: 10910"] [b]Re: I'm with Frodo on this one[/b] To ME it's intuitive as well and to any 5 year old that never learned anything else I'm sure it's like breathing air... but that doesn't mean everyone is like that. My parents have a microwave with diels for power and time. When it died I tried giving them a newer digital one and they couldn't run it. It took forever to find another one that used dials. It took a long time to get my parents to use the program guide on their satellite receiver. And while I'm thinking of it... what % of people never set the time on their VCR no matter how simple it is? Look, if those menus could be set to appear or disappear right where they normally sit at the press of a button and the configuration had an item to optionally have them enabled at startup... then it can cater to both crowds. Hell, even if it just ghosted them to disable them until you press a button it would do the trick. I think MP is awesome and when I said redesign I believe the word I used was eventually. The thing is... if you start looking at the problem now, you can make some preparations in the code for when it happens. [/QUOTE]
