- I personally dislike it quite a bit. It looks, quite simply, like a
- toy. I think it would be very difficult for any company to effectively
- market something like that and expect to be taken seriously.
-
- A brand new company trying to reintroduce something that most people
- have never heard of in the first place should not be taking such
- chances. If anything, AT should try experimenting with the power and
- usability of the computer, not the case... A sales pitch like
- "...totally new approach to personal computing..." would be much more
- appealing than "We've got a neat looking box!" I've got no probelm with
- trying to experiment to come up with new hardware system or OS to make
- the new model stand out from the crowd, but I think this latest
- incarnation is a little rediculous.
