Maybe people need to keep bringing Apple up until other manufacturers realize that they don't have to make something ugly to be functional. Or that people who buy things can appreciate that good design is more than just looks, but is about functionality as well. Maybe manufacturers need to actually ask users how things work for them? Maybe spend another $10 on the hardware to make it fit with the way people work, rather than visa versa?
But I guess that's like expecting D&D players to not dress like geeks and take showers once in a while.
