Would you like an auto-exploding view included as well? Whereby, each
component of your system is seen to be extracting itself from your system,
enlarging to fill the entire screen and then *itself* exploding and
sub-components extracting themselves while being overlayed in red
(obviously to indicate sub-compotent initialization). Additional, a small
statistical read-out could display information regarding each component's
identity and parameters (serial number, current RPM speed, etc, etc).
Hell, someone comes up with an OS that will do this, and I'll just stay
home all day cold booting my system over and over purely for entertainment
value.
