Choosing
A choice is the range of different things from which a being can choose. The arrival at a choice may incorporate motivators and models. For example, a traveler might choose a route for a journey based on the preference of arriving at a given destination at a specified time. The preferred (and therefore chosen) route can then account for information such as the length of each of the possible routes, the amount of fuel in the vehicle, traffic conditions, etc. Simple choices might include what to eat for dinner or what to wear on a Saturday morning – choices that have relatively low-impact on the chooser's life overall.

This included printers, which had to be adapted for use on the Mac through the addition of such a port, or an adaptor. Any device could be plugged into either port, which meant that some system needed to be used to identify which port had a printer, possibly both. A small desk accessory called ''Choose Printer'' allowed the printer driver and serial port to be selected for the connected printer.

Spectasia
Spectasia is a document browser (chooser) application that has been developed by MATT Services. Spectasia was first released as a beta version for Microsoft Windows in July 2006, with the latest stable release on 23 March 2009. The name Chooser refers to a software tool which allows the user to choose items visually, providing a lookable screen layout in which items are easy to spot. The term Chooser was also used for a defunct Macintosh finder application, but there is no direct relationship between the applications. Spectasia has been developed according to the design principles of the Lookable User Interface, which is related to Richard Bolt's concept of "Lookable Graphics". Spectasia is commercial software, and is available for use under a License from MATT Services. History Design The design concepts behind Spectasia go back to 2003 and were embedded in Alan Radley's idea for a Lookable User Interface. A number of prototype systems were developed and tested at MATT Se ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
