3) Applications, especially from the same vendor (e.g., Microsoft, Google, or Apple), are consistent.

4) The primary reason for consistency across computer applications is that certain operations are fundamental to processing information no matter what the application.

5) Blazing away is justified by the consistent interface, while clicking around around is justified because running software can't break the computer

11) Apple invented the mouse, and the Macintosh first introduced the mouse technology to the

12) Metaphors are essential to computer usage because they guide us in learning and using

software.
