   I have the highest regard for these terse, but information-dense displays that enable humans to quickly grasp all information they need to do their jobs, and nothing more. This is also something avionics provide - a modern cockpit displays are a work of art in layering needed information for what is happening at the time, both the dense PFD and the much specific that communicate aircraft status.

      I know it's impossible, but I've always loved to get a hands-on demo... I'd love to learn the UI patterns involved, for example. I can always make my Emacs faster to interact with, dammit!

         If you're in New York City, the New York Public Library has a terminal you can use.

            Wow, really? Do they limit your time on it? I would imagine that thing is in constant demand.

               It’s a two hour time limit and you can only take pen and paper with you inside (no photos/data export)
