Just letting you both know, last week at (customer-site) we were reviewing screens. There was one screen that was particularly ugly. On the spot I used JScheme to create an entirely new screen that conveyed the same information but looked much better. It took about five minutes, short enough to be done in the background while people were talking, long enough for me to incorporate what they were saying into the new screen. Anyway, they really liked what JScheme did so quickly. The (local-business-manager) made a remark about "those screens Geoffrey creates so quickly," and the next morning he showed up with a few screens of his own he threw together with PowerPoint. Obviously he got the point that showing new screens quickly to the customer is a strong selling point. One of these days I'll have to show him a few JScheme tricks so that he can do better navigation and more dynamic content than is possible with PowerPoint. Maybe, with the right libraries, JScheme has a potential audience among management types with some technical ability. Geoffrey -- Geoffrey S. Knauth | http://knauth.org/gsk |
