Hi,
Cool stuff! OT, This reminded me of when I first saw YouOS. One of these days someone may implement a full featured virtual desktop with a web browser and office applications, etc... all on top of Pd data structures. :) -- David Shimamoto > Here's another experiment with datastructure-based GUI replacements. > As with Chris (with his recent excellent "expanding GUI" concept), I'm > a big big fan of hiding complexity, and I also like keeping details > and interaction "in context", as in, somehow connected to or growing > from the control you're manipulating.
