David rebuilt the splash as one screen instead of three. The mark and the instruction float over the deck now, both see-through, the mark folding to half size as you scroll and the panels dimming as they slide under either edge - so a panel running out of sight says there is more of it, which is the one thing a hard edge cannot say. Then he noticed the machine had never once explained itself to anybody who had not read the repository, and gave it a panel that does: what the cabinet is, why there are several of us, what the traps are for, and the one door onto the board.
