- For all people who don't like the new Walker case, consider this:
- The case shown is basically a _very_ mini tower. Consider that, as
- I understand it, it will be possible to purchase center sections that
- will extend the case into a mini, mid or full tower. If you mentally
- superimpose the extension into the existing walker configuration, it
- will really appear as a tower with a sloped top section. The
- strangeness of the design is thereby much diminished and could
- probably pass for a PC with little feet in a black case.
-
- now ask yourself: why on earth would you want _that_ anyway?
- viva la difference!
-
- Now with that said, I believe that it would be an exellent
- marketing move to offer the walker in several different cases, or in
- the prototype case with a variety of colors and a plain jane tower.
- The reaction to the prototype indicates that there is interest in both
- the prototype and a plain one. The literature about the walker has
- stressed modularity as a key concept, and such flexibility in cases
- would, I believe, strengthen the modularity image. However, I am
- ignorant of the logistics involved in providing such variety.
