That would look awesome! I had kind of "visualised" a more cubish design, too.

That's probably aimed at me - and I realize that I really should STFU as I
haven't entered anything since what, like, Guelph? :(

Well, yeah, that's sort of what I thought. I figured maybe this could be
more of a mechanical challenge than a programming one. But I shouldn't say
that, because I don't know what everyone else wants.
(I have found that at work that I am more likely to say (in my head, anyway)
"hmm, that won't work" than I will "that's an excellent idea, and I love
your concept." That makes me sad because it makes me realize how inherently
pessimistic I must seem. :( I supose the correct attitude would be "I like
your idea, but I think this and this might make it even better.")
