My initial reaction is that were I in the audience (which I won't be
'cos I'm the other side of the big pond) I would be appalled to find I
had the choice of watching a computer display, squeezing my eyes
tightly shut or running screaming out into the night.

I spend way too much time staring at computers of one sort or another
and really wouldn't want to be confronted with such a display during
my off time.

Sorry if that's an overly-negative response, but it's an honest one.
