I have been looking at HCL's products and I still have to say that I actually do like them. There's a lot of ideas I find interesting and different, and unlike many, I'm not that horrified with the general inner look and the wiring of these things. Sure, the wiring is prototypish and I would not do it like that, but that's what the Atomic Squeezebox looks like in the inside.

The safety issues are obvious, but they can be solved. By putting some effort in, HCL can have a perfectly good product line. Their gear is not exactly expensive, so they could just raise the prices a little and use a few extra hours in making them better.

I do feel kinda bad for all of this. But I just could no shut up on the matter.
