granted that the inside is metal, but it hardly looks like veneer on a
beige outercase. And the moce and keyboards are specifically not veneer.

Personally,I like it- expecially the mouse. I'd hav to try a keyboard,
though I suspect the mass of the keys themselves would make it feel more
like the older metal keyboards i love. I'd rather have steel and granite
desk tops given what I do to them :)

Seriously, it's not worse than the decorative aspects of design in a
blade1000 except that the material isn't purple plastic.
