ADM’s appearance has taken a beating at times from folks who don’t like the “look.” However, after spending some time getting acquainted with Ultra Recall and Knowledge Workshop, and then returning this morning to do some of my “real work” on ADM 3, I found it a pleasant relief.

I guess I have the Windows “blues.” The Windows design is nice, but it becomes tiresome when every program starts to look the same. Moreover, and of greater importance than “mere” appearance, some of these Windows kit programs don’t give users the ability to shift font sizes in the tree, thus making life more difficult for those of us who have middle-aged eyes that ain’t what they used to be. Ergonomics relates to such concerns, and in terms of being able to set colours and font sizes in the tree, I find ADM much more ergonomically friendly than the new offerings.

Similarly, I find MDE InfoHandler, the other program I use for my “real work,” to be ergonomically friendly.
