first, purpose drives technology. thinking first about what would be clever marketing and try to form fit the technolgy to it is a losing concept. either that or the justin bieber desktop would be the best thing ever. just look at the thread on kde-promo ... the relevant phrase is "tail wagging dog". if you ever feel it is important to CC a marketing list when thinking about discussing technology, delete the email (or whatever) immediately, think it through a bit more and send it to the relevant tech list instead with actual content. so ... there are no "basics". never have been. never will be. i respect and admire the desire to make things better. that's always a good thing. but what thing(s) should be better? you mention at some point the mouse/keyboard driven concept (because we've obviously lef that behind or something apparently) and that is perhaps a good start. so WHAT aspect of mouse/keyboard interaction could be improved? -- Aaron J.
