   I never fully realized the power and simplicity of the whole gadget/menu
Intuition interface until this past holiday weekend.

   With almost no instruction, various visiting relatives were able to
use gadgets and menus.  They played games and drew pictures and amused
themselves for hours.  The mouse-clickers included a 4-year-old who
can't color inside the lines and an older relative who despite repeated
instruction can not insert modular phone connectors.  I was amazed.
