The design isn't all that bad but that translucent
plastic is ignorant
in my opinion - like the see through phones - who wants to see the
guts of machines and electronics,
Well, if classiccmpers aren't going for it, who will? It may be
a reverse thing, that people who Can't Possibly open a machine
themselves need to pay extra to be able to see it.
On the translucent thing, theres an artist that is selling
a mass of wires in a blob of epoxy as a 'cellphone' for
$3500. Seemed like a neat idea until it was revealed
that the electronics were nothing but a digital clock.
