INTRODUCTION World changes, so do people. From the time that man-computer symbiosis began, both of them have unrecognizably changed. Who could have guessed that the ideas that rooted in 1930s, 1940s and 1960s would blossom as today’s technology. Who could have guessed that, when Nelson (Baecker. et al., 1995) first coined the term ‘hypertext’, it would be the key that opens up gates of the “Wide World of Wonders”? As one can predict, the bricks that are used to build the new fantastic places of this world are very important. That is why what was once shaped in the hands of the designer, is now sculptured according to users. That is why ‘usability’ is now recognized as a vital determining factor in the success of any new computer system or computer-based service (Carvalho, 2001).
