[Sigia-l] "Don't make me shave"?

[Ben Melbourne]

One entertaining long fingernail work around I saw a user do in a testing session on mobile devices recently was to use her index finger knuckle instead of her fingertip.

While it wasn't ideal because it still wasn't small and accurate it worked better than her nail.

I don't know if you have long finger nails, but if you or anybody else does,
when you encounter a product that's not easy to use as such, do you
personally get indignant or sort of accept the fact and move on?

Having long fingernails (voluntary) is, for example, different than losing
visual acuity (nature's joke), so I reckon there might be differences in the
reactions. What's the likelihood that a lady would trim nails just to use a
product like the iPhone? (I know Andrew would ;-)

Science is true. Don't be misled by facts.
