The comments here have all been valid, IMO. I saw some elsewhere that 
annoyed me because they didn't know what they're talking about and 
were just me-too-ing.

Funny thing--a visitor to my studio was studying Octopus' front 
panel, and in telling him about it I commented, "You see, this whole 
thing IS a display". There was a little whole-body "whoa" reaction as 
that sank in--a literal example of "taken aback".

Having to remember the secret handshakes to operate a machine with no 
display is not for everybody. I didn't warm up to the Latronic Notron 
which is so beloved by some, so I guess you just have to stumble on a 
combination of form and features that works for you. I've seen some 
displays that I hate, with cryptic abbreviations or "unique" terms. A 
display method should require the least brain processing and the 
fewest eye movements possible while providing information.

genoQs asked if I would help rewrite the manual for Octopus, but left 
the ball in my court, which is a little more volunteering than I'm 
good for. That's the same problem people will have working on their 
OS--it means tackling a big thing from scratch, when a usable version 
already exists. I hope that one of these days someone will find it an 
irresistible project.

Say!! That's what Colin can do after Cirklon is put to bed--work on 
Octopus/Nemo, and sell it to us!  :-D

I hope Colin takes the time to do up a good manual for Cirklon--even 
if the balance sheet dictates that we have to print it ourselves--in 
a format where pages can be inserted or added. I need to sit away 
from the computer and ponder a bunch of dead trees (because I flip 
back and forth as questions come to mind) to become acquainted with 
new gear.
