Tester 7 was most informative, and I back-reference those results in
the others.

I wasn't there for those.

Sorry about the formatting...I thought Susan was going to add in
everything I had into the main list.  While there is a lot of overlap,
I do have material not listed on the other usability page.  I didn't
have time to merge things myself.  I thought if people really cared,
they'd read through the raw data anyway.
