I think you mean 'indictment' but otherwise right on the money. An
easy test of box-shifters is if their boxes can be upgraded. The
designer-shaped towers of Time, for example, can't be. This type of
design is usually known as built-in obselescence and is not really
intended to provide best value to the consumer. Headline price is not
the only consideration of value, pace the Austrian economists who
appear to have taken over Skill.
Regards, Bernard
