- On 19-Mar-96 10:23:22, Mat Bettinson was so nice to say:
- > Salutations Anders for on the 17 Mar 96, verilly did you scribe;
-
- AK>> No kidding! Noone will ever belive it's a computer. They will look on my
- AK>> desk, se a keyboard, a monitor and a mouse and wonder: "Where the heck
- AK>> is this guys computer??".
-
- > Hmmm. I'd be happier with something like that than a horrible beige PC box
- > on my desk. Those things are always so much bigger than they need to be.
-
- > Think of it this way, who'll be able to ignore it in an Escom shop this
- > time?
- > :-)
-
- Heck, AT could advertise the shape as an ANTI-THEFT FEATURE!
-
- Imagine:
-
- Thief 1: "Check the basement for PCs."
-
- Thief 2: <after heading downstairs> "What the...?"
-
- Thief 1: "Hurry it up!"
-
- Thief 2: "I can't tell what half this stuff is."
-
- Thief 1: "Grab anything that looks expensive. And small. We're running out
- of room on the truck."
-
- Thief 2: "You better come down here."
-
- Thief 1: <after heading downstairs> "Are you blind? Grab that printer. And
- that scanner on the desk. Leave the monitor."
-
- Thief 2: "But where's the PC?"
-
- Thief 1: <ducking under computer desk> "Shit!"
-
- Thief 2: "What?"
-
- Thief 1: "Are you sure Vicky didn't tell anyone we're doing this place?"
-
- Thief 2: "Why?"
-
- Thief 1: "This guy's some sneaky bastard. He hooks his keyboard and mouse
- up to the vacuum cleaner when he leaves!"
-
- Thief 2: <ducking under computer desk> "I dunno, it looks more like a
- toaster to me. Or like that maid on the Jetsons."
-
- Thief 1: <crawling out from under desk> "We're wasting time. Check the
- rest of the basement for the PC. I can't believe some people are so
- paranoid..."
-
- <grin>
-
- AK>> At first I thought it was "UGLY!", but after some thinking I figured,
- AK>> "Hey! I want one just because of the design. This isn't any ordinary
- AK>> computer that evrybody has. This is something extra."
-
- > I agree totally. I want one of those machines!
-
- Me too. Now the really tought question: How do I convince my wife? :)
