You use GUIs all the time, and thus have much to offer. Useability, screen flow, menu flow. You maybe don't know how to write the code, but you can surely offer insight about how well it works for you from an interaction perspective. The HID perspective doesn't seem to have been addressed much (if at all) lately, and HID doesn't require any coding knowledge. All you need to know is, "that's button is in a really inconvenient spot..." ;) -- Matthew Vanecek perl -e 'print $i=pack(c5,(41*2),sqrt(7056),(unpack(c,H)-2),oct(115),10);' ******************************************************************************** For 93 million miles, there is nothing between the sun and my shadow except me.
