When I was young, I thought stuff like that was the
bomb. Now, it
irritates me -- eclectic and convoluted does not equal "cool" when I'm
the guy who has to understand or fix it.
I feel the same way about hardware, which is probably why I feel nauseous
when I look at the Apple ][ (and peripherals) schematics. On the other
hand I love elegantly designed hardware (which may also be complicated
and ingenious) like the HP9100.
