I would suggest that Apple's appeal can be summed up in the phrase "obsessive attention to every detail combined with aesthetic taste". Product announcements were no exception to that combination. "Cool" is just the end result of that combination. You can have obsessive attention to every detail *without* aesthetic taste and possibly still get a capable product. Or you can have *no* obsessive attention to every detail and no aesthetic taste and get most Microsoft products. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
