Oh dear Dolly

You know, in LAMS 2.0, Dolly featured a lot more that it does now. For instance in all the flash interfaces, we used to have it while people wait for the interface to load.

However, some people raised your point and we decided to change it for the logo instead. At that time, some people (including highed) complained that she was gone... hehehe.

More over, the National Prescribing Service which uses LAMS to teach medical students how to prescribe medicines across almost a dozen universities, ask us to do a "nurse Dolly" where Dolly sports a nurse outfit and an stethoscope! (Glad we are not in New Zealand... otherwise it would indeed be concerning)

I don't think the image in Dolly is there in LAMS any more. Is it? If so, please let me know.

On the animations, which is probably where she shows off the most, we have had some good feedback about it... but again, I see your point in looking too muppet-like. I personally like it though, but I do get that it doesn't work for a lot of people.

In new tutorials, perhaps we need to look for a more neutral style though.

Any comments? Any one?

Ernie
