Your notion of "graphical" user interface obviously doesn't fit mine. But while talking about cars: A modern car has about 100 MCUs running some code somewhere. Considering the typical car's cockpit I seriously doubt that the majority of them has a user-interface, much less a graphical one. Unless you count reading out the fault memory as "user interface". But that sure isn't "graphical", neither. Vinzent. -- A C program is like a fast dance on a newly waxed dance floor by people carrying razors. -- Waldi Ravens
