    Computers and the Internet according to “normal” users

    Don’t forget, you may have perfectly rounder corners and the coolest AJAX, but still, this is what the Internet and personal computing is like for normal users. And it won’t change any time soon, not even if you add deep tagging and an open API.

    Just something to consider.

    • Nothing in the world is cooler than animated screensavers.
    • Internet Explorer is more commonly known as “the Internet”; when you say “open the Internet”, you mean opening IE.
    • To go to Yahoo, you search for “yahoo” in MSN Search or Google (whichever you use as your start page).
    • The more extra toolbars on “the Internet” (see above), the better and more useful it is.
    • Email messages should be kept forever, and in the Inbox. When, after a while, your mailbox “breaks”, you simply get yourself another one, and tell everyone that you’ve changed email addresses.
