After I've got things worked out on paper, with all the scratch-outs, circles and arrows, and am happy with the basic design, I then type up something in plain text as my "final" draft. Not claiming I don't end up revising the hell out of it in development, mind you, but it seems to work, and I catch all the stuff I have enough smarts to anticipate. The stuff I can't anticipate, well, there you are, eh? I've tried Visio and all that stuff, and find myself wasting *WAY* more time lining up the damn boxes than actually thinking about what I want to *do*. YMMV -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
