Abstract

An interactive computing device comprises a display (2) includes fish-eye areas (4) and (6) for displaying information concerning a plurality of function items in the form of a list or table. The selection of an item results in an increase in the area of the display used to display the selected item, while leaving the area of the display used by non-selected items unchanged.
