Ugly computers

We just got a flat screen moniter!  It’s from my in-laws for Samuel’s graduation present.  I love it so much, because I think it is one step closer to making computers less ugly.  It’s so sleek and makes the desk seem much tidier.  I just love how simple it is.

Next step in making the computer less ugly: buy one of these.

I’ve always loved roll-top desks, and the idea of using one to hide the computer sounds perfect. Besides just looking ugly, computers always accumulate clutter.  Papers, cds, recipts, cords, etc.  So I’ve always been torn about wanting the computer in a high-traffic area of the house -so people are less likely to look up stuff they shouldn’t- and wanting to hide the ugly cluttered mess.  With this desk, you can cover the mess any time you want!  Also, a lot of them come with locks, so you can keep little ones from playing on the computer when they shouldn’t.

Also I want to get a cabinet for the TV.  If there’s anything uglier than a computer, it’s a TV.

    I think TVs are very ugly too – that’s why I wouldn’t get a TV until we got a Cabinet first – of course, now we have a cabinet and a TV, but no DVD player, so we still watch movies on our laptop! I normally don’t like Laptops, but it is nice because of the lack of clutter associated with one. We got part of laptop instead of a flat screen for Avram’s graduation, because we were moving to England, and so we needed one. Too bad, I like the flat screened monitors a lot more! How exciting for you!

    Oh, and I meant to say I love the desk. I’ve always wanted to own a rolltop desk.
