Summary
This chapters continues the authors critique of good and bad design decisions. Today he covers the arcane contraption known as the VCR, the well designed Lego motorcycle, and the importance of sound.
Discussion
There were two things of significant interest in this chapter. First, by spending so much time on the VCR the book shows its age a little. Nothing wrong with that, obviously, but it is interesting. The second is the first point the author made that I strongly disagree with; I want my ventilation to be silent, and will happily take less feedback in exchange for less ambient noise. To allow verification of proper operation a designer can simply but the grate where one can reach up with a hand an check the air flow.
