Hi Mihai,

Very interesting analogy. Never thought of Web Applications as a gourmet menu, but you its definitely a good to explain the concept.

Hey Thomas! Indeed lot of time has passed since Mainz event :)

I think what you described would be great like an eternal punishment for those building non-usable apps :D

Hi Miahl, long time no talk.. :)

To drive your analogy a bit more, I think more appreciated approach would be to have the ingredients spread over several pages on the menu so the user/guest has to figure out what belongs together.

Or have to repeat everything he had for dinner to the waitress when he wants to pay for the meal at the end.

However, the restaurant example does a pretty good job explaining it.

Cheers, Thomas
