Newton Interface Design
For example, the system provides a Delete routine that gives you some nice animation for no extra work. To see an example of Delete, simply delete a name card from the Names application. The item is crumbled into a ball and is thrown into a suddenly appearing trash can that then disappears. Users find such animations a pleasure to watch. (We think there is a good third party opportunity in writing an Undo function that makes the trashcan reappear, uncrumples the item, leaving a wrinkle or two, and then makes the can disappear.)
