Neil Poulton on the design of Rugged:
“When I was a kid I was crazy about a Sci-Fi show on TV called ‘Captain Scarlet.’ Captain Scarlet was a puppet. But Captain Scarlet was indestructible. He drove the SPV—Spectrum Pursuit Vehicle—a futuristic 10 wheel-drive, high-speed tank that rolled over everything, each of its wheels cushioned by an independent axle and suspension system. The SPV was characterized by its front bumper, which wrapped around the car’s nose like the toe of a classic 70s basketball shoe. The bumper was made of solid white rubber and was heavily grooved to look like segments of an orange. The SPV was tough. It was rugged. It, like its pilot, was indestructible.
So the SPV is where the inspiration for the design of the LaCie Rugged drive came from. With its internal hard drive comfortably mounted on four independent suspensions and its protective external bumper, the LaCie Rugged drive is the high speed pursuit tank of all hard drives.”
Made Tough
By Johnny Catch…
The first few days in kickboxing class and you realize your ass is a loaf of bread. You are weak, out of shape, short of breath, low in stamina and half the man you thought you were.
A few months into kickboxing class and you will have been sculpted into marble. Every inch of you would have been pained and honed into muscle, every shred of fat would have been sheared of your lazy ass through intense hard exercise.
What you’re left is nothing but quality. Allow me to use a metaphor to better illustrate my point. Your body would become like the LaCie Rugged Hard Disk. The metaphor of an external hard disk might be a little out there, that’s a given, but stay with me here.
Like the LaCie, your shell would be rugged and ready for the go. Your body would be made of stern stuff, like the body of the LaCie, a scratch-protected aluminum shell with a shock resistant bumper to be able to take any hit or fall. You would be extra resistant to harsh elements simply because you were made tough. Like the LaCie you were crafted to be hard.
The other thing with kickboxing is the speed. The LaCie hard disk has 320 GB’s of space with the supreme speed of high speed USB 2.0 interface. What this means is that you’re fast like LaCie, you’re smooth like the LaCie, you’ve got killer instincts like the LaCie, you are quick on your feet, free flowing, jab giving, spin kicking, laying down the law, power play moving whirlwind of kick ass action incarnate.
That’s what you are after a few months in kickboxing class. You are the LaCie. Talk about a perfect metaphor.
