That reminds me of my favorite end-user-as-designer stories - Kurzweil sythesizers! (The way I remember it ) Before genius Ray Kurzweil made sythesizers (and now even afterwards) he designed & built reading machines for the blind. When client Stevie Wonder heard the way Ray's reading machine used his synthesis to produce artificial speech to read the books aloud, he encouraged Ray that he could expand the technique to create a musical instrument, and that started the line of Kurzweil synths.. Anyway Im sure I didnt mangle the facts too badly, thats the skinny anyway :) ernie Ernesto Ikerd, (817) 763-4795 Company Graphics, Dept 17, MZ-4202 Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company Fort Worth, Texas --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
