EPSON copy utility
In what I hope will be the first in a series of UI rants...
I'd like to bring your attention to the interesting 'realistic' UI of EPSON copy utility. In fact it's so realistic you can't use your keyboard to set the number of copies, you have to use the up and down buttons. Nor can you toggle the black and white/colour switch with your mouse, instead you have to go to the 'Device Settings' menu.
The function buttons are realistically unclear, and they come without any Tooltips just like the real thing!
