[edit] Sophie is taking phone notes

[edit] Martin jots down ideas
Martin spends a lot of time in front of computers and so he uses BasKet to jot down ideas he has in the middle of other activities. Ideas range from suggestions for work projects to holiday travel locations to simple URLs of texts he wants to read later. The characteristic point of this activity is that he wants to keep the note somewhere and quickly and then turn back to his actual activity.
[edit] Michael is using Basket on his Asus EEE laptop
Michael is using his ultra-small laptop with the 800 x 480 pixel screen to manage his life using Basket, mostly based on Getting Things Done but not exclusively. He wishes there was a full-screen mode like Firefox's F11 to waste less screen space with things like menus and title bars. He knows that he can press Alt-letter at any time to get a menu to pop-up on the screen so there is no need to use those precious pixels.
[edit] Michael is working with an Asus EEE on the train
Michael is using Basket on the train and needs to do a fair amount of drag and drop but this is awkward using the touchpad. He wishes that he could do the drag and drop using only single clicks and the keyboard even if it means extra clicks. For instance if he could click three times on an object (not triple-click but three separate consecutive single clicks) to make it stick to the mouse cursor, then drag it and drop it with a single click which can then be cemented with a second single click or escaped with the ESC key back to floating mode, then he would be happier. If you try drag and drop using the touchpad alone, without buttons or keystrokes, then you will get an idea of how awkward it can be on a small laptop being jostled on the train.
