Desktop Universe

The World was big, back in ancient times. Everything was a mystery behind the village gates, and three giant elephants and a turtle carried the Earth into the unknown. After the turtle, came the ship, the train, the plane, each one making the world smaller. Then came the Internet and reduced the size of the Universe to a desk with a laptop on it.

And our Desktop Universe has to be treated with ultimate respect. Since the space is so limited, the things you choose have to be the best and look good.

Lacie External Harddrive is a gem in a crown of desktop stuff. Minimalist design, black mirror-polished finish, fanless operation make it quiet and unobtrusive, and quite elegant. And the special thing- a strip of LED light, a pool of virtual blue blood spilled in front of the harddrive- to remind us of the frailty of the made-up world we created.
