No problem, I personally do not care for cubism either and have my
own opinions about.  However, I can't discount its place within the
art movement regardless of what I think.  Sometimes these "gimmicks"
are stepping stones, and we have to let them happen (or tolerate them
if you prefer).  

Re: Wiard and its graphics, I am glad it exists and makes a statement.
The mere fact that you have a reaction to it, strong as it may, is an
indication of someone (in this case Grant) taking the time to make
something different, that would be appreciated by some and disliked by
others.

Now, I have been curious about something...if you were to design a
synth, panel and electronics, how would you do it?  How would you blend
your love for art with your love for electronics?  Grant obviously has
an interpretation, and I would love to hear about your view.

Bill
