IBM Usability Software

The following software was created by the IBM Ease of Use group. All we are doing is providing links to the software. We use the software in our usability and information architecture engagements, but we don't endorse it, or make any warranties, expressed or implied, blah blah blah. Use at your own risk. Has not been known to cause attention deficit disorder in small children or laboratory mice. Don't operate this equipment if you've had more than 8 martinis in the past hour. If there isn't a lifeguard on duty, then don't go into the pool.

Why are we posting it? Because:

  1. Tom Myer wrote a software tutorial for IBM several years ago.
  2. Since then, the software has been removed from the IBM Ease of Use website.
  3. Usability and IA folks keep asking us about it (apparently, IBM has been referring folks to us).
  4. We are more than happy to provide it, as we think the software is swell.
