Speaking of ugly interfaces, is there any uglier than the Amiga's?  I'm in
the process of programming a utility and in the process, I have almost
completely redesigned what the window for the program looks like.

I don't really like the Mac's interface much more.  It does look slightly
nicer than the Amiga's, but not much.

What I _do_ like is the NeXT interface.  The machine is outrageously
expensive, the optical drive is outrageously slow, but the GUI brings tears
to my eyes.  In the aformentioned program that I'm writing, the NeXT GUI has
been a very big influence.

Which brings me to the final point.  I heard a rumor that Commodore had
hired a graphic artist to redesign the look of Intuition.  True??  A friend
of mine redesigned it himself with DPaint, and although it uses eight colors
it makes the NeXT GUI look like... well... like the current Amiga GUI.  Is
there anyway I can get these pictures to the supposed graphic artist at
Commodore?  Is this all a hoax?  Are we going to be stuck with such a
dog-ugly interface forever?
