I like it!

For really boneheaded users who don't have a clue you
could start deleting widgets randomly, depending upon
how boneheaded they are. Make a stupid choice on a menu
and BOOM!,the Colors button goes. It would train users
real fast, I think.

I'm going to include a special chapter in my new
book on this. :-)

Cheers,

David
