I know him from "This Old House"; I'd like to see what he's done. I'm one of the originators of the term "furnitecture." My definitions date from 1990. http://www.designcommunity.com/forums/topic-3304.html&highlight=furnitecture http://www.designaddict.com/design_addict/forums/index.cfm/fuseaction/thread_show_one/thread_id/1644/ http://savewright.org/wright_chat/viewtopic.php?t=2404#2404 http://savewright.org/wright_chat/viewtopic.php?t=2451#2451 http://savewright.org/wright_chat/viewtopic.php?t=2474#2474 http://savewright.org/wright_chat/viewtopic.php?t=2484#2484 http://savewright.org/wright_chat/viewtopic.php?t=2510#2510 SDR

Tell you what, we'll put it on your tombstone. How's that? There are better ways to fame. Like intelligent, hard, honest work. Why not copyright the term and every time we say or write it, we have to send you a nickle. Maybe in 20 years you'll be able to buy a pack of gum.

"You've been proven wrong once, are you going to continue to ride that horse?" When ? Where ? What did I miss ? The idea behind ideas is to share them, not to hoard them -- isn't it ? Hop you're feeling better soon ! SDR

That has got to take some hard work, and some know how. Thank you, Mr. Benson for the opportunity you have given me. It is priceless and I will not waste it. Derek _________________ n/a
