When I was a teenager, I had a boombox that was nice and rectangular–you could stack things on top of it (including, later on, a CD walkman, since it didn’t have one built in). It also had aux inputs, which hardly any low-end consumer audio devices do anymore.

In retrospect, it was built (intentionally or not) to be expandable and to evolve with its owner. Now you get all this aerodynamic crap that monopolizes all your horizontal surfaces.
