I don't understand why peoply argue about this stuff.  Why doesn't someone
just post a survey asking specific questions about what people want in
displays and then just post the results.  A survey would be much more
interesting than arguing about religous subjects.

As far as the religion goes: Blinking is ok if it is slow and doesn't distract
the user.  I find that a 2/3 duty cycle for cursors is much nicer then a
50% duty cycle.

The best way to design the displays (as far as I am concerned) is to make
something like preferences, and let the user decide what's best.

Amiga preferences lets you select color; maybe in future versions, it will
let you choose everything.

Ever heard of resources and defaults (.Xdefaults)

My two cents.....
