I was only half joking when I said users dont read manuals.

Users only read manuals as a last resort. Most users hate being forced to read the manual. Users despise being told to RTFM (which is exactly what you just did albeit in a slightly amusing way) and are fairly likely to give up and use something else.

A graphical interface cannot be *perfect* for everyone.

You'll always find al least one user that doesn't understand your GUI.

But a *good* GUI is a GUI that, once you've learnt how it works, you don't forget it.

If an interface needs to be teached twice to the same person, it is probably not so well thought...
