Stylized representations of dated products still regularly take on new meanings as they avoid ambiguity. For example, in the UK (and I expect elsewhere) an early-20th century box camera is used to signify traffic speed cameras. Likewise an icon of a 3.5" floppy disk is instantly recognised as a Save function despite them not being used for many years.
The point being, the use of a dated product to represent a new idea is not unknown, and does not suggest the new product is equally dated. The 8-track suggestion was a joke btw. That's pushing things a little too far. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ simbo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11481 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98339 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
