Great Interview! Note the following, especially #1 refers to a recent thread on this list - "What three things would you like to change about every Web site? 1.I would like to never again see a "Submit" button. 2.I would like to see interaction move outside of the pointlessly restrictive boundary of the browser. 3.I would like to never again see a banner ad.

Alan explains several interesting notions about software and Web usability, such as: * "Less is More" * "Software Needs to be Spanked" * "User Apartheid" He has a few things to say about his role in the creation and sale of the Visual Basic programming language. Also, he tells us a bit about his forthcoming book, "The Inmates are Running the Asylum" which is due out in April. If you are interested, feel free to read the interview: <http://webword.com/interviews/cooper.html> Regards, - John p.s.
