I just sat in on a talk given by two psychologists who work for Microsoft, conducting usability tests. During their presentation, they decided to show a clip of a test they had conducted for a Combat Flight Simulator game. Windows Media Player came up on the screen, and, of course, the footage was postage-stamp sized. One presenter right-clicked around the screen to no avail, and finally muttered, "How do you get it go full screen?"
"Alt-Enter," I offered, and he began to punch buttons.
"What is it again?"
"Alt-Enter."
He punched more buttons, and asked, "Alt-What?"
"Enter."
This is too funny. This absolutely can not be true? Can it?
