    Which do you prefer, sharp edges, or curved, smooth surfaces?

    The whole concept of this popped into my mind when I was fixing my dad's company's CD-Duper...and I was unplugging a cable that had totally fried, and my thumb hit the edge of some random peice of metal in the case, and it was sharp enough to make a nice friendly cut...why the hell don't companies smooth the edges of metal parts in computers so that people won't slice their hands up?

    Personally, I don't have a specific preference on objects having sharp or curved surfaces, I usually just go with what I like, and if the asthetics of the object are good, go with its spirit, and match my mindset.

    Wow. How on earth did I get that from cutting my thumb?

    Come on, let there be sharp edges!! It's not like we have to hunt bears to eat, or battle indians to plant or crops, what is a little cut in the name of new hardware??

    The doctors told me that I'm no longer allowed to play with sharp things. At least, not since the accident.

    Yea, you shouldn't be allowed to drive either.

    Or shoot potato guns...

    Damn invalid.
