Barb --
This subject is the topic of discussion at the Middle-Tennessee STC chapter
meeting tonight.
I know virtually nothing about usability (and I'm not planning on doing
much outside research at this time) -- but I hope to get some interesting
info tonight. Deloitte & Touche is the host site, and they are in the
process of building a usability testing room which we will tour.
If I learn enough to answer your question I will forward it!
