Abstract
Bill Buxton speculated [1] that if some future archaeologist dug up a current personal computer, he might imagine that the user had two hands, with one dominant hand to control the mouse, one eye for mono-vision, limited hearing and no legs, nor mouth. His point of course was that current personal computers make limit use of the full range of human capabilities. As a musician use to using two hands and his mouth to play instruments he wondered why this was so?
