[BC] Dealing with the Brain Challenged

Whenever I design or rebuild a studio I always ask
"What do YOU want in the studio? How do YOU
want it to be laid out? Where do YOU want the
sources to appear on the pots?, etc." The talent,
not I, have to work in that studio. I am going to
build it the way YOU want it, not the way I think it
should be (despite having been a DJ in the distant past).
BK. Have it YOUR way!

Boeing employed this philosophy in the design of the
777. They asked pilots, flight attendants, mechanics and
others involved in the daily operation of the aircraft for
input and feedback. OTOH, another arm of Boeing
designed the border security for the Arizona/Mexico
border. It is a debacle. Laptops in vehicles don't cut
it in the rough road surface, sand in the keyboards, etc.
Dr. Laura specified her own wishes for call screening
software/display. A number one class talk show is the 
result. (I just had to put that in for Rich).
