Very good! I like this explanation. No mod points today, unfortunately :(

Regarding your sig: I prefer to use the Konami code in my sigs but then deliberately make an error somewhere. It's funny because people can't help but correct you :D

You really, really ought to rethink that. Just for a minute.

Pictures or it didn't happen ;)

But seriously though, I'm curious.

No. Power users don't use the... "mouse?" That strange dangly appendage is far too slow. It has it's place, but doing things like opening a font dialog isn't one of them :P

A power user would just hit Alt, F, F or whatever the mnemonics for the Format and Font are. Most likely there's some other faster, easier way of doing it as well, like Ctrl + Alt + F. The key to good user interfaces is providing multiple ways to do the same thing. The beginner can peer myopically about the menu items, sampling from them with the mouse. The power user already knows how to do instantly anything that he needs to do, with at most two or three keystrokes.

I twitch almost every time I see "begs the question" but I've given up on saying anything. I applaud your enthusiasm :D

Go team!
