    I love software packaging. That chemical smell. I still remember the smell of the orignal NES Zelda instruction manual that i read on the way home from LANECO. Of course, smell memories are some of our most indelible. Why can't software manufacturers put greater emphasis on smell? Why is it always just "visual" :(


    I await your answers as eagerly as I await a commercially viable scratch and sniff USB interface.

    You mean the box no longer requires the jaws of life to open? What the hell fun is that? Now you really won't have to be smarter than the box to install the OS. WTF Microsoft? Don't you think we have enough moronic lUsers on your OS?

    @Six Demon Bag: Lite: "iusers"? You mean mac people are morons? Using windows?


    As for the packaging, simple and logical, funny to see people making arguments about it.

    @nerve11: Actually, that's lusers, not i or I.


    And I was talking about Vista's packaging being a bitch to open.
