I can only agree. I do hope that the new interface has the 3D
like look. I work daily on a MOTIF machine, and the graphics
are  stunning (It also cost sligtly more than an AMIGA...). 

 Does one need HP permission (ie does HP have patents or whatever)
on the 3D look, or is that Public Domain?

 Any case, if C= has to pay royalties to HP (or OSF) they should 
do it, it's worth it.
