Hi Richard:
I detect some dosis of sarcasm in your tone. Also I detect a will to create or
recreate or enforce a distinction betweeen you, the "smart guys" that only care
about strenght, and us, the stupid people that go for whistles. It is not so,
Richard. It is just human to pretend not only funtionality but some pleasant
presentation in the things we use. I am sure that when you purchase some cloths
you take some care to do so with pleasant cloth and not with just the first
thing you see in the shop. Same with cars and anything else. Once you have
ensured high strenght in almost any top program, is only natural to demand extra
features in terms of presentation. Nobody talk of whistles, although I have
nothing againts them, but just of an elegant, well made GUI. I am sure you have
not take a look at CP gui. If you do you will be with me is not the adequate
thing for Rebel.
