Color Psychology
We know something of the way the colors affect the human body--psychologically and phisiologically. There has been a considerable amount of research in the marketing area about what colors different groups of people appreciate. There has also been some research in the interior design area on the subject. However, most of the research in IS is about 20 years old. It has been conducted long before screens got very capible of great color represenation and before the web came on strong as a channel for commerce. The research needs to be examined and looked at and some needs to be done again in the context of web design. Can we tell the gender and income levels of people based on the color scheme they choose for their customized interface?

Introduction for Reuse/Anchoring
Today I wrote about Tulane's problems after Hurricane Katrina shut it down in August '05. The university needed to meet payroll, but its HR systems were off line. The system administrators wrote queries against the backup data to process payroll; however, an error in a query resulted in the incorrect issuance of more than one hundred thousand dollars of payroll checks being issued.

Response to WSW99, What should it look like?
It was all painful. I'm afraid that the paper in its current format will not read well unless the reader has the Wand et al 99 paper in hand. I'm especially troubled by our differing interpretations of Bunge's work. How can we keep this from becoming a he said/she said argument?

Multivalued Attribues
I spent my time mostly editing text and cleaning up figures. I'm struggling with issues surrounding how Bunge represents intrinsic properties.
