Kurt,

>>Or looking at his car, or shirt or house. People like style and aesthetics, and with humans, these qualities seem to find their way everywhere

Actually I was agreeing with your original post but think that the prime motivator for a professional should be function first. If an ugly box provides better functionality then the mondo cool one, I'd probably go with the ugly one that makes my job easiest. If both the style and functionality are pleasing then all the better!

It is amazing though that the "build-to-order" houses do not offer a variety of cases for the popular models. Plastic is the ultimate in moldable materials and yet they choose the "Box:Bland" mold when they decide on a style.

Cheers,

Norm
