Quotations
74 ;;Quote: Apple menu bar at top of screen has infinite height; 4-10x faster than Windows menu bar on line 2
74 ;;Quote: comparison of constrained pointing tasks and goal-crossing tasks for speed and accuracy
75 ;;Quote: fastest was orthogonal pointing and continuous orthogonal crossing; slowest was continuous collinear crossing
75+;;Quote: movement time for pointing and goal crossing by the target-distance to target-width ratio
76 ;;Quote: discrete orthogonal pointing had the lowest error rate, 2.5%; others similar to Fitts' collinear pointing, 7.6%; target distance and width was significant
77 ;;Quote: orthogonal pointing was 10% faster than collinear pointing
77+;;Quote: when practical for crossing, use orthogonal goals to the movement direction
78 ;;Quote: the Macintosh menu bar is about twice as fast as the Windows task bar; widgets on the border should extend to infinity
79 ;;Quote: goal crossing may be better than pointing; continuous action; bi-directional; double crossing; multiple selection; like gesturing
79 ;;Quote: goal crossing may work better for elderly users who have difficulty pointing and double clicking
