    A while back I remember reading about a girl who did her psychology thesis on WHY people ignore signs. She sat in an empty college classroom that had a big "Do not enter - testing in progress" sign on the door that could NOT be missed - and every time somebody opened the door, she'd ask them to come in and question them as to WHY they did that, even though the sign told them not to. I tried googling but couldn't find a reference to it.
    The large print giveth, and the small print taketh away.

      I did find this page about a Cognitive Science seminar from 2006.

      Most amusing is the instruction regarding the location: In the back research area. Just ignore signs saying you should not enter the area...

        But I'm betting these won't work on it? Damn and it would be so good to get lost in Discworld again.
        The Discworld collection I referenced is for the Android operating system only. I too would like to have them on my computer.
