- Hmmm. Concerning the rounded shape, it seems to me that most people
- said the same of Ford's jellybean shape with the introduction of the
- Taurus in the U.S., and Ford ended up getting filthy rich off of the
- design. The only valid argument that people have posted concerning
- this is that it can be a waste of space in the box. I personally
- think that some of the Suns and SGI look pretty freakish myself, but I
- also don't think that's the point. They also scream, "I'm not a
- Windows piece of shit!" People seem to get their underwear in a bunch
- when someone tries something different. I'd be perfectly happy if
- some people thought that the "Walker" *looks* like a toy as long as it
- isn't built like one (like my A1200 was--the manufacturing quality is
- pathetic).
