Poor software design, not poor technology.

They can’t make it work as well as the ordering kiosk at McD’s?

I don’t want no plastic saddle, I want to feel that leather, when I ride.

I disagree. Instead of a screen dimmer which is readily accessible, guys on a new civilian ship started just throwing their jackets over the screen because they could not readily dim it at night. Turns out that they needed to go to a sub-menu of a sub-menu. The red light should be a quick and easy switch not a time consuming hunt through several screens.

I’ve been working with touchscreens for a long time and there is no way they should be used to control a a war ship. They are prone to noise issues and they can actually not work for some fingers. They should be scrapped.

“Poor software design, not poor technology.”
