Research Update

Things still going as they should be for the most part. We havent started video taping user interface evaluations yet, though its been enough of a challenge to steal a littl time from the hospital workers. I feel guilty when we do since there are generally long lines of people waiting for care. The patients are very greatful and happy when they are presented with a bag of food staples for their time at the end of the interviews. Its nice that no matter what comes of this at least we made life a little easier for someone if only for a short minute of time. We're also discovering that mobile phone coverage extends a lot farther than expected which is promising if we are to plead for a long term trial. Hospital workers are raelly excited by the idea of learning how to use a computer and using a computer for their jobs though they are afraid of anything that doesnt look exactly like the paper model they are used to. They all say that it would save time and eliminate paperwork adn that it woudl be great because they woudl never need to file papers again. While this is probably true to some degree i cant help but laugh since the beauty of not knowing anything about the computer is that you also dont know how much pain, agony and tears they can cause when they crash and lose all of your work.
The @#$@^$@#$^%# desktop still wont run things properly. I hate it. I really want to just sell it for parts but we're going to try and reinstall windows again instead.
