Just watched the Peter Greenaway documentary "Rembrandt's J'Accuse" - Rick Dahms recommended it. Greenaway makes the point that we have become visually illiterate over the past few centuries even though we are awash in images. Interesting.

What other popular software out there requires the user to search the screen for a teeny, 3 pixel, non-intuitive symbol or icon to display an important but confusing menu, all just to do what should be a common function? Photoshop is a dinosaur at the beginning of the Age of Mammals. hmm, I must have a strong opinion on this...
