"We like this long, narrow schedule format for several reasons:
- It's easy to read: it's easy to see that 9am is near the top of the schedule, and 9pm is
much farther down the page.
- Our users only have to scroll up-and-down, which is a natural 'Windows' feature. Our users
don't like to scroll horizontally, which 'feels unnatural'.
- We can fit up to four columns via frames in a web broswer window that is full-screen on a 17-inch
monitor. Coincidentally, we have four spectrometers. Up to five frames can fit on a full-screen
web browser window on a 20-inch monitor (one for each weekday!??!).
- It's easy to program in this format."
