i love hardware. just playing with it is fun. but only after many
weeks or months have i ever gotten anything useful from it. i find
software much easier to be complex and detailed with than any hardware ive
ever used (though i have limited experience). but there is no way to make
up for the crappy interface of a keyboard and a mouse.
caution: fantasy ahead......
if i had it my way i would have a laptop-type computer, but in place of the
keyboard would be a touchpad, but one which is configurable. that way you
could (basically) turn it into a bunch of sliders and knobs or what have you,
but with the flexibility of a computer screen. i dont know how easy it
is physically, but it would be cool to have a screen under the (transparent)
touchpad that could change what each specific "pixel" of the touchpad was
for. would that just be heaven...........
