oh definately... numbers can really mess things up - unless, as it was 
suggested, tooltips might be a good way to keep them invisible until 
needed...

the problem i find though with knobs is that a mouse just isnt a 
fine-tuned enough tool to drag a knob around - this might just be the 
apps i'm using currently though, and the way they've coded their 
knobs... if i use my graphics stylus, things improve, but i've only got 
one usb port and cant run it concurrently with my usb-quattro...

its an interesting thought though, how much do GUIs influence our 
composition?...
my favourite apps have always been those that fitted like an invisible 
glove, that never intruded on my thinking but gave me the space to do 
all the things where my mind was leading me...
