Is there anyone who can give me some advice on what to look for? I'd like non-computer types (human subjects) to be able to use it with virtually no training. Does this sound feasible, and is there anything special I should worry about because of that? I'd appreciate any advice about brands, what to look for, etc. Is there a recent review somewhere? I'm going to check back-issues of Byte but if someone can remember reading something brilliant elsewhere, I'd love to hear about it. And BTW, is this the spot to ask such questions? If there's a better group, or another group to which I should also post, please let me know. -- Chris Hitchcock, Dept. of Psychology | chris@psych.toronto.edu University of Toronto, Toronto | hitchcoc@vm.utcs.utoronto.ca Ontario, CANADA M5S 1A1 | ____________________________________________________________________
