Interesting - I did not realise that there were any UI courses around -
certainly we did not seem to cover UI at Otago (from what I recall
anyway).

Well put.
I think what is required is a return to having big 8" tape drives that
churn away in front of a user. You don't need much UI feedback when
the user can seen, hear and feel a tape drive (or even better a big
magnetic drum) spin up. <g> On the topic of retro computing (it must be
