Plucked a few reasons I found here and there in this discussion in case anyone's interested, turns out I may have underestimated the functionality of pretty & shiny! <btilly> "I've used that feature myself so that I'd be constantly looking at my daughter's happy face rather than the blank background of my many terminals. No utilitarian purpose? Perhaps. But a very real psychological one!" <towolf> "When I stare at opaque terminals all day I get severely perceptually understimulated to the point that I fear becoming an automaton."
