  1. Heya i’m for the primary time here. I came across this board annd I in finding
    It truly useful & it helped me out a lot.I’m hoping to provide one
    thing again and help others such as you aidesd me.

    Great show – I’m always fighting to meet users of my software to see how they actually interact with it (in an effort to make it as intuitive as possible). Frustratingly, it’s hard to persuade the powers that be that this is a good idea 🙁

    One aside, over here in the UK (in fact this may apply to all of Europe) very few people drive automatics. We all drive “stick shifts” – it’s pretty unusual not to!
