040603 - x0001 Morris demoed the outline features of Microsoft Word.  It has strong
040604 - data entry features, but not as convenient as those we have created
040605 - for SDS, particularly with respect to enhancing the ability of people
040606 - to make money.
040607 -
040608 -    His method of application is similar to SDS, where he initially
040609 -    creates some major headings.  Then comes back and creates some
040610 -    subheadings, then subheadings under them, as he feels is necessary.
040611 -
040612 -       He can then enter narrative when he needs it.  A very good
040613 -       feature is the ability to assemble headings at various levels.
040614 -       This presents a view of just headings and no narrative for
040615 -       summary presentations.
040617 -        ..
040618 -       We could do this in SDS with the highlight feature, by tagging
040619 -       all major headings with a color code, and selecting it.
040620 -
040622 -  ..
040623 - SDS adds to this the ability to assemble chronologies at the headings
040624 - or major subject levels.

151204 - Morris read through the memo to Ross and the one from Mike Sims.  He
151205 - has not yet accepted the value of contextual structure provided by
151206 - SDS.  We discussed how SDS captures the microcosm of events and rolls
151207 - them up into "controllable action items."
151208 -
151209 -     Morris understands the value of details in engineering, but like
151210 -     everyone else, has not transported this understanding to dealing
151211 -     with people in managment.
151213 -      ..
151214 -     His recent experience with the downsizing at Chips has opened his
151215 -     eyes somewhat.

151220 - How does SDS Help People Make more Money?
151221 -
151222 - Reduces mistakes by recalling things correctly.
151223 - Discover what needs to be done before mistakes occur, through writing.
151224 - Avoid overlooking something that is scheduled to be done.
151225 - Remembering the links between issues.
151226 - Discovering relationships between events that have been forgotten.
151227 -
151229 -  ..
151230 - Can they reduce litigation expense?
151231 -
151232 -    If they reduce mistakes; they will have less litigation expense.
151233 -
151234 -    If they reduce mistakes they will be more successful in the
151235 -    litigation they do undertake.
151237 -     ..
151238 -    If they capture the record, they can better control the outcome of
151239 -    litigation and greatly reduce litigation expense by reducing the
151240 -    time required to educate their attornies on issues.
151242 -     ..
151243 -    If they craft the record, they can create the tools they need to
151244 -    make understandable arguments.  The usual problem is that attornies
151245 -    and judges do not understand the material evidence which is needed
151246 -    to develop rules consistent with the nature of a particular busi-
151247 -    ness practice, such as competitive bidding.  The battle during
151248 -    trial is to get evidence into the record from which one can argue.
151249 -    SDS does this by scripting the evidence.  It actually controls what
151250 -    can be said.
151251 -
151252 -
151254 -  ..
151255 - Morris feels the state of the law today is that the defendent must
151256 - prove innocence, under a presumption of guilt!

160502 - Morris said SDS would be easier for him to use if the calendar was
160503 - presented in a standard view.  He cited many instances when someone
160504 - calls and wants to do something in say 6 weeks.  It is difficult to
160505 - figure this out in the SDS schedule screen because it does show the
160506 - calendar in standard format.
160507 -
160508 -    We provide cal.com which enables people to look up this type of
160509 -    information.  Windows has the same capability.  SDS provides
160510 -    features that supplement this capability that are much more
160511 -    valuable to making money.

231001 - Morris explained a theory he has that people have different
231002 - forms of intelligence.  He feels some people can express their ideas
231003 - in writing and others cannot.
231005 -  ..
231006 - We reviewed the letter of discussions with Ross, ref SDS 12 0344 and
231007 - ref DIP 1 4455, which includes the memo from Mike Sims, explaining he
231008 - did not use writing and had a difficulty initially, but found that
231009 - when he could not explain what happened in writing, he concluded this
231010 - indicated he did not understand it, rather than that he possessed a
231011 - different form of "intelligence."
231012 -
231013 -        [On 931130 Peter Drucker notes inability to write often
231014 -        indicates lack of understanding, which is an effective metric
231015 -        calling for further inquiry before taking action, or putting
231016 -        off a decision. ref SDS 14 4966
231018 -      ..
231019 -     Morris has used this formulation before indicating SDS is not a
231020 -     good tool for him because he does not write well, and so the
231021 -     company has a "writing expert" to edit Morris' work.
231023 -      ..
231024 -     I believe this kind of support is different from at least being
231025 -     able to explain ourself to ourself as to what we think about
231026 -     something.
231028 -      ..
231029 -     In any event, my experience shows Morris is a good enough writer
231030 -     to explain what he thinks and believes about events.  He has the
231031 -     ability to write down his knowledge and ideas and to thereby
231032 -     "discover" gaps in his understanding.
