Product suite design - single interface designormultiple?

Thanks for the feedback - nice to have someone who has actually seen
the products. I completely agree with regard to focusing on the content.
Though we do have to work on optimizing the troubleshooting aspects of the
products, and that is where a large part of the workflow or activity design comes in.

You bring up another interesting point -- "it might make it too simple for them."
I've struggled with this as well.

ease of use & interfaces for "power" users

Hi all,

ease of use isn't of much help if it cripples functionality. Imagine a
configuration glider with 2 extremes: "power" and "average" user. This
glider can switch from hiding functionality in the UI (or complexity) or
look like a complex airplane (control) panel (...minus the context-oriented
eurofighter, but that's another story). btw, what defines a power user(1)?

I have being thinking of this, what exactly is ease of use? Aren't designers
forcing a "one size fits all" UI?

Affordances (was Re: iPhone Keynote)

Mark Said "In short, the brain stores and reassembles images, not words."

I'm not sure this is strictly true Mark, given the eight general types
of intelligence Visual/Spatial, Logical/Mathematical, Linguistic, Interpersonal,
Intrapersonal, Musical, Bodily kinesthetic and Spiritual
(Naturalist)...

I would say my brain, what there is off it, does a little processing
on any possible affordances available based on the context.
