What is the mirrored plastic he mentions at the end?
Sounds like the horror we have come to know as "glossy" computer monitors.
Is it that awful fake chrome that looks like metal (and is called "chrome") until the consumer opens the package and realizes they've been conned?
- derekp7 12y agoI had an external Seagate hard drive that seemed to me that it had a high quality look -- it was a satin finish plastic, which resembled the plastic used on power tools. The next upgrade I got was a smooth shiny black plastic which I hated from the beginning, as it would get scratched up too much in my laptop bag. But guess which one most other people prefer buy?
