Neville, I don’t think one can appreciate a program such as IH by spending “10 minutes playing.”
You have observed how up to date the technical pieces are, or are not. But a discussion of the technology used without reference to the program’s function is meaningless.
Without considering function it seems a rather gratuitous slam to say that “if it is ‘state of the art’ as you say, then I’m very worried about the state we are all in.”
How would you feel if someone dismissed your program without even consider the relationship between form and function, technology used and function?
