This is not a description of a user experience. Technically a user 
experience is past tense, meaning that a user has already had the 
experience. Experience is past tense. So again, I suggest you try my 
array, gain some experience with it, then comment on that experience in 
past tense.


I did that for your array, and it flunked my user experience test. 
Please show me the same courtesy. I'm not interested in doubling areas, 
since my cortex cannot compute WxH without counting pixels and writing 
down the dimensions and doing the math. Most of my array is based on a 
1.5 factor, which is what I asked for originally.
