Killer robot (bad UI design)

["Mike O." <obie1121 -at- yahoo -dot- com>]

OK here's something for Friday. This is cool:
http://resource.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/Modules/CS3051-SE/KillerRobot.ppt

I found it while googling for something else. It's a fictional case
study of bad UI design. It just keeps building and building...

My favorite quote has a kind of haiku-like quality:

> There was blood on the calculator pad. 
> A green error message was flashing.  
> The Error message read ?System Integrity Error 45?


If you don't have PPT, try this:
