These boxes would almost be an upgrade to what I currently have at home.
Burn, burn, burn. Got to keep up with those purchasing cycles that keep the
economy going, the cheap labour in the east alive while Earth gradually
deteriorates. More destruction at the expense of those who cannot afford to
keep up. Of course, intra-software incomptabilities (versions) are part of
the equation as well. Replication takes precedence over reuse.
