I'm notsure how many people (including myself) were suggesting things be"wacky" or psychedelic ,but, rather to entertain the idea of someexperimentation--especially in the realm of parameter control and I/Oplacement. Its always easier to dream first and then reduce to reality later,rather than the other way around.

I dosound and UI interface design for big and rather conservative hardwaremanufacturers--this issue comes up time and time again and we've found itrewarding to try and throw a little chaos in first before the hammers of JosefMüller Brockmann, Tog, et al are allowed to fall.

I'll bequiet now.
