But each one of us is free to set own threshold that triggers the frustration.

The idea behind reminded me about your book "The Laws of Simplicity", so maybe you would like to see this product yourself: www.humanized.com/ To me it looks like this product still needs more developing, but I wanted to share it with you anyway, since You convinced me that 'simple is beautiful'.

When people said "I don´t have time for that", they really said "I have another priorities", because the "time" is constant for all the people. The problem about complexity is the problem about how you put the design in the priority list about the people. Sorry for my english, I'm form argentina and congratulations about your book.

It'd deliver a fortune of the day, much like a fortune cookie. Logging out would be tied to running <i>fortune</i> usually so you'd have a nice sendoff from the computer. I tend to follow whatever instructions I get from fortune cookies (within reason of course). Makes the day go by easier for me by removing choice, as Mike points out.
