| | Neil Stevens, director of that most devout purveyor of beige boxes, Tiny Computers, recently admitted the industry was doing a "bad job in terms of innovation". | | | The dilemma is this: you are a PC user with a passing eye for good design who happens to need a new computer. | | | Unfortunately, the NeXT box, a black cube-shaped computer, sold poorly. |

| | Robert Bryant: Beyond The Beige Box |
| | Sure, a physical box will be available for the 'power users' to hack away at, but it's the software and the concepts behind that software that will make the machine truly remarkable, enabling us to move beyond the confines of the desktop workstation. | | | This notion that a computer can be anything other than a box on the desk will be hard for some to understand--many are uncomfortable without a keyboard under the fingers--but many more will be in blissful, effective ignorance of how the system works. | | | The new Amiga will be a departure from how many perceive computers. |

| | New Criteria of Beige Box Computing |
| | However if you look carefully at the emerging cosmos of beige box computer, there's a de-emphasis on "the box" and what's "beyond the box" is more important. | | | Technology vendors know that computer prices are dropping and that "the box" is becoming increasingly irrelevant to the consumer. | | | Only a short time ago, the criteria for searching for a computer was based on vendor brand, processor speed, hard disk size, and the amount of RAM. |

| | Of course, Dell is known for consumer satisfaction and they have certainly done that for me. It's just that I thought that there couldn't be any improvements on the computer box design. | | | The dramatic styling and colors of the box itself make it a computer that you want to display rather than tuck out of sight. | | | What really helps the look of the case is the fact that all of the attachments to the computer are color coordinated. |

| | While we can forgive hardware issues and driver clashes beyond their control, the frankly poor production values and sloppy beta testing evident in many PC games can and should be improved. | | | Of course, console developers have the advantage of working with a closed box with fixed hardware and a captive audience of millions. | | | It seems that we are the ugly red-haired stepchildren of the gaming industry, ignored and beaten by the publishers and developers who foist off their left-overs on those of us still trying to play games on the big beige box. |
