little or no consideration for the end user. This
was largely due to technical and hardware
limitations. The poor interface design required a
specific skill set for users and limited the mass
appeal of computers. Modern interfaces are much
more user friendly. Theo Mandel wrote about the
five (5) golden rules of interface design. Read
