The Lego system of apps and os is somthing I hope becomes more used in
months to come. Sadly the bulk of the sheeple cry for spoon feeding. Take
a look at the uproar over skins of late. An old idea of customizing your
apps looks now is the whine of the masses .
It seems the more things move to become about parts and building the ore
the mass mindset is about a controled pre built experience.
Fortunatley I get get away without having to have my rigs work for the
masses:)- And yes, I was the kid who plastered stickers all over his text

in personal freedom?
