Is there room for the fruity WinAmp windowing GUI? ;) 

I grew up on MacOS 1 - 9 and a few first Raphsody betas
Then switched to clunky NT4... N2K, (i hate XP), N2K3 (love it or hate it)

Meanwhile discovered NeXTStep, W98 (licensed from NeXT?), WinAmp,
FruityLoops, KPT, Talisman, DragThing, and the ultimate "Wrap Init" that
makes screen life so much shorter way back in MacOS3...

Although i admit not to have seen it work on osx, it seems
Like WinAmp, it's a layer above in the GUI reality layer ;)

This is how KPT stood out of the crowd for one... and made 
osx come bit by bit following kaleidoscope and the aqua 
revoltion (still the nicest, i agree...) 

But all still so flat...

The army is checking out the "Minority Report" movie 3D interfaces and
screens and that's cool! But we can still do more (without the effects ;)
and unless we experiment with our own GUIs which is so easy in RunRev, then
there's no point in trying...

But since it's better info, faster the way I like it on my desktop or your
drawer, it's RunRev's way or no way - i forgot MS's way long ago - it's so
senile... ;)

RunRev's the only place where I can marry the best GUIs for my personalized
paperless desktop - since Hypercard times!

I just do my GUI... maybe not to everyone's taste, but for efficiency of the
moment... Nothing's forever... But thanks to RUnRev, mission critical is
almost like real-time GUI delivery! ;)

cheers and nitee rev-nite from Europe!
