Bad! Bad UI! (felt-tip markers)
Monday, Oct 23, 2000
Why oh why do Sharpie dry-erase markers look so much like sharpie permanent markers? Now I have to get a new dry-erase board because the ink just won't come off!!! ARGH!

I remember this happened once in a meeting at Levi's. Our (CKS's) general manager was using the wall-whiteboard (the entire wall was a whiteboard surface) and didn't find out until he tried to wipe a bit out that he was using a permanent marker instead of a dry-erase. This has become my mental image of 'Faux-pas'.
