- It keeps crossing my mind that the new "Walker" is more of a set-top system
- than a desk-top system. Its interesting style would work as a set-top box
- pretty nicely. However, MANY want a new desk-top system to upgrade from
- their A500's and A2000's. Maybe they could have a slightly more 'common'
- looking version of the Walker aimed more at the desk-top arena, and keep
- the current 'odd' look for the set-top arena. The odd look is less likely
- to be an issue in that arena.
