Yeah you know, that has always been my theory as to why, in Star Trek (and others), the control panels on starship bridges sometimes explode with sparks and smoke for no better reason than that some component on the outer hull got shot up by the Klingons (or whoever); its an important feedback mechanism ensuring that the operator knows that something is very seriously wrong. Now if only desktop PCs had such a system...
Hi Steve, You know, now that you mention it that makes perfect sense.Although, keep in mind we're talking about MS machines here -- these machines will need to be capable of emitting a shower of sparks and smoke virtually non-stop.
Hmm. Actually, I think it might be fun to construct a spring-loaded BANG! type flag, triggered every time Dr. Watson or the current equivalent is executed.
