Even non-electronic equipment that is beautiful and functional catches my eye. I have a digging fork for my garden that is both a work of art and is highly functional in turning over soil.</p> I am one of those people who likes to keep things simple, In fact, I have thought about starting a company that sells only simple things like a telephone that just allows one to make a telephone call without needing to read the directions which are always confusing.
