Abstract	This paper applauds and emphasizes the Workshop's title, "User-Oriented Design of Interactive Graphics Systems," but bemoans and condemns its subtitle, "Application-Specific User Behavior and Cognition." The pros and the cons are an incomplete but cogent case for consideration of an idiosyncratic systems approach to interactive graphics systems.An idiosyncratic system is a personalized system. Personalization means both recognition of and response to the complete range of an individual's characteristics, from physical traits, to work habits, to cognitive styles. Enough evidence exists in the literature of experimental psychology to substantiate the fact that user behavior is not application-specific, but driven by personality and experience. The resulting criteria for a user-oriented interactive graphics system include existential hardware, adaptive representations, inferential input, and graphical conversation.
