I worked with Kai during those years... and I must agree, there were those who found our style of interface to be annoying or difficult... but honestly, to paraphrase Dr. Frank-N-Furter from Rocky Horror, we didn't make it for them wink

Rather, there was a huge, untapped demographic of people for whom computers and interfaces had not yet spoken a language that made sense - and those folks were giddy with enthusiasm and support for what we were doing.

We knew we were breaking some eggs, and tipping some sacred cows, but we were also, as Kai used to say, "pushing the bell curve a little to the right," bringing new users into the fold, and importantly, having a hell of a lot of fun doing it happy
