A fart in the wind, when well placed, can certainly matter. That said, it's the case that the quality of the interface only matters in a selling situation sometime. Having just purchased a car for my 17-year-old, I looked for certain qualities in the vehicle -- interface wasn't one of them. This car is going to live its last year of its life under the control of my son. He will do what it takes to learn its operation. I'll never drive it. Price and reliability were far more important to me. Not all qualities are important to all people all the time. As much as we'd like to think the ones we contribute are always drivers, there are plenty of situations when they have no effect. Jared Jared M.
