I would once again repeat that Wiard is indebted to Robert Rich 
and Gino Robair for invaluable honest feedback and criticism. 
While it was a growth experience for me to be able to accept this 
criticism, the great value of it becomes all the more apparent as 
time goes by.

In response to one of Mr. Rich's suggestions, the silkscreens 
have all been updated to a Version 2 faceplate (at some 
expense I might add). The new faceplates all use a system of 
right and left pointing, solid and outline triangles to indicate 
inputs and outputs.

I was discussing what kind of graphic notation could be used to 
indicate inputs and outputs, something so simple, even a young 
child could grasp it. My friend Dana Iwon suggested the use of 
triangles, because they are used to indicate door open and 
close in elevators. This was a superb suggestion. Rex Probe 
then suggested the use of solid and outline triangles to make 
the visual differentation even easier. Another superb suggestion.

So in response to Mr. Rich's review, the Omni-Filter has been 
improved and the faceplates redesigned for easier access by 
the less experienced user. I hope this demonstrates the great 
respect I have for his honest criticism, and the value I place on 
user feedback in general.
