We get all kinds of tedious PR bumf here at Online Towers, but among the dull snaps of newly-appointed Vice Presidents (Procurement) at tech companies you've never heard of, there are some images you really don't mind clogging up your inbox. It's the new "Baby Gaggia" domestic coffee machine, updated and remixed for the digital age. That means, alongside the chrome and steam and stuff, there's "an advanced innovative dosing system" that means all you need to do to brew up is "press the 'Coffee' button and your 'Baby-D' will memorize how to make your favourite cup of coffee." Oh happy day. Let's just hope this isn't the first coffee machine capable of crashing: I'm not sure I could face that before my first cup in the morning.
One other problem: I suspect strongly that, even on a web broswer not out the stone age (I'm at work, so it's IE5 on Mac OS 8.2, kids) their website is an utter mess. Given geeks and coffee go together like... well, two things that go together very well, maybe they should give some thought to building a half-decent site.
After coffee, of course.
