Improving the User Interface

BUTTING@waikato.ac.nz
(chuckle, computers)

OS/2 offers 'Neko', a program that sends a skittish kitten chasing after the
mouse cursor.  As desktop computers become more powerful, users will have more
clock cycles available for such distractions.  We offer the following vision
of what may be to come:

  Neko for Windows NT:  A stick-figure Bill Gates ambles after the mouse.  If
	he passes a window he stops to point out the interesting features and
	makes promises as to what future versions will offer.

  Neko for OS/2 version 2.2:  An elephant appears, and runs away from the mouse
	in terror.  When it runs into a window, it knocks itself unconscious.

  Neko for Taligent:  As for OS/2 2.2, but the elephant is coloured pink.

  Neko for Apple Power-PC:  'Phil', Apple's bow-tied 'agent', runs after the
	mouse with a mousetrap.  If he runs into a window he drops the
	mousetrap onto his foot and jumps around the screen howling in pain.

  And finally, Neko for SGI Indy:  A fully rendered velociraptor stomps after
	the mouse.  If it runs into a window, it tears it apart and eats it.
