Well, speaking for myself, an overly-plain <something> is something I notice. An overly-gaudy <something> gets really annoying. It's not just computers; I couldn't easily care less about fashion, or whether my clothes "go together", or any of that stuff (obviously ;), but I'm still not going to wear a bright neon pink plastic shirt with blinking-lighted yellow pants. Overly plain may be ugly, but overly gaudy is distracting verging on annoying. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is because I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
