Lots of good feedback from my recent post on how I evaluate software. Marc and Buzz add to the discussion as well. On Marc’s weblog there is an especially good comment from Hal Rottenberg where he adds some more rules:
The Five-Minute Rule:
“If software breaks within the first 5 minutes of install or usage, TOSS IT.”
The One-Day Rule:
“Use a new piece of software for a day. When I wake up in the morning, if I am not moved to continue using it, or if I am having difficulty using or configuring it, uninstall it.”
Nice, I could not agree more.
