To me, that seems like the only real market. At $3K, it could pay itself off in decent time. Big plus for the lonely golfer or the "third man" who doesn't want to rent a cart by himself.
Other than that, this just ain't gonna sell in the US of A. We don't do carpools, public transportation, or bikepaths. Why change now?
So again, I think it's just golfers who will want to know whether or not this will fit nicely in the back of their 4WD, 16-cylinder Ford Excursion with the extra-wide chassis.
I still remember as a kid seeing Greased Lightning in the final scenes of Grease; all of a sudden it had a clear hood. Oh man, it was THE COOLEST thing I had seen up to that point in my young life.
Now why wouldn't this work with computers? I mean surely, for a concept this obvious, Gateway, Dell, or somebody would've done some market research. I think it comes down to this. The man behind the curtain just ain't that impressive. I mean, it's not a car engine. It's not cool looking. Except for the fan, there's no moving parts. No, it's just kinda there, kinda sterile.
You know what would be cool though...you keep some live bugs in the case. Then everytime someone walks by your cubicle...hey, I think I've got a bug in my system. Killer stuff.
