because nn is not concerned with making new customers
so much as she is concerned with quality operators.
this fact would seem to dispute your own point about
her being "greedy".

if you go to a "party" you will probably see party
visuals. perhaps you should try an art gallery
instead? there has been a great amount of installation
work and non-"screensaver" work done with nato. you
say you have never seen anything done by nato, maybe
this is why you haven't seen much on the level of art.
