You can keep repeating that as much as you like, it won't make it true!  
A few emails back I outlined exactly how I think this should be 
implemented based on Simon's original idea.  WHY WON'T THAT WORK?!  What 
information will that not show that a newbie would want to see?

Don't be a total idiot.  You don't need to draw each block individually, 
rather you split the bar up into several components (4 in my proposal 
IIRC), each representing the number of blocks in each of the 4 states I 
outlined.
