Oh, that brings me back! I remember seeing those cow-themed boxes everywhere back in the day.
I was so disappointed to see the cow theming disappear when the company folded. (Or, you might say... when the company moo-ved on.)
OT: Anecdotally, it seems like there was just a bit more whimsy and playfulness around the design back in those days. The iPods that came out a few years later -- with all their delightful neon and pastel shades -- were another lovely echo of that same theme. Nowadays, it seems like technology is all polished metal and rounded corners -- Airspace [1] and Alegria [2] everywhere you look. I'd love to see a return to some of the more playful designs of yesteryear.
