Mac computer-generated layout app?
I seem to recall a strange freeware program that randomized fonts, colors, placement, etc and produced some (rather cliché) designs, but cannot locate the app. Anyone know what I'm talking about? I believe it ran in OS9/Classic; not sure if there have been any recent updates. Google ain't helpin' as it was named something funny.

Response by poster: No, it wasn't web design - it created print designs for brochures, cd's, etc... One could select among different styles and input copy, and the app would make layouts for you with included imagery. Unless all of this was just a vivid hallucination.

My first post, so excited! I think the software you are thinking of is n_Gen by movedesign, which takes some text input and spits out fully designed mockups according to certain stylistic templates. Check it out here. Interface is flash, the software is under works, then research.
