Hi Don,
You say of the Bilton piece ..
"... Although, alas, it is still treating design primarily
for its styling rather than for deep structure. And, alas,
for all it fame as a design company, that is still how Apple
treats it."
That seems unfair on Apple. I'd agree that Apple presents
it's designing as good styling of it's products--as part of
it's marketing--but it's clear from an inspection of these
products, the insides included, that this is not all they do
in their actual designing.
I like knowing that the insides of the things I use are well
designed and made, not just their looks.
Best regards,
Tim
