Of course we care what it sounds like and we care what it looks like. Billions of dollars are spent on marketing and advertising to build up brand names to communicate just the right type of lifestyle. This money isn't wasted, these things matter to most people even if it is on a subconscious level. In fact, people who are completely immune to this kind of thing are probably psychologically abnormal, I'm thinking of autism (but IANAP). Thankfully most people who say they're not affected by marketing, advertising and brands are just suffering from a lack of self knowledge... :) Regards, Peter _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
