No, our conversation was good. Maybe I can re-arrange the list so the slider things are all at the top. Also, you can navigate that pop up with the 5 -way, so there is no stylus needed either. If all the slider functions were at the top, then they would fit on one list without scrolling, would that help? I might even be persuaded to add some icons to make them stand out more. Let me know.
