Andy,

When the new Children's Hospital was in its design stage here in Wash DC,
everyone involved had to go through the old facility and the new
architectural mock-ups in a kid-height wheel chair.  If there were only
some equivalent for the people designing software "improvements" that
befuddled geezers like me will have to use.

Cheers!
