just because he eliminated click-to-type? But look what Rob
later wrote[1]:
"Several interrelated rules were followed in the design of
the interface. These rules are intented to make the system as
efficient and comfortable as possible for its _users_. First,
_brevity_: there should be no actions in the interface - button
clicks or other gestures - that do not directly affect the
system. Thus, help is not a `click-to-type' system because that
click is wasted; there are no pop-up menus because the gesture
required to make them appear is wasted; and so on."
so, sam is halfclick there. ;-)
