One thing i think we're going to implement is pie-menus. Has anyone implemented them in Ada? I've only used one pie-menu system in Birth of the Federation -- maybe we could call the OS 'Kirk' or 'Mad Womanizing Chauvanistic Captain in Yellow who I'm really quite jealous of' -- and it was really good. I want to replace linear menus with pie menus in the system, maybe we should provide the choice. Don't want 'how does it work syndrome'. Live long and prosper, Chris Campbell -- anyone know the proper reply to 'Live long and prosper'. I've forgotten but i think it's 'Kah'plagh'.
