Will Sargent reviewed The frozen keyboard by Boris Beizer
Review of 'The frozen keyboard' on 'Storygraph'
2 stars
It's not a bad book, but it's severely outdated for modern software -- this book was written in 1988.
It writes for an audience that has never used computers before and expects them to work, and tries to educate them as to why it is that most software sucks and most UI is unintelligible. As such, it ranges from explaining menu bars and the issues with printer drivers to why it is that many bugs are considered "not worth fixing."
While it makes an interesting read, the only bits which could still be considered current are the organizational and psychological bits, which have been covered ad nauseum by more current books. As such, I'd have to say there's no real reason anyone should read this except for the sake of completeness.
