And what is it with that pull-out control panel? (I won't go into why I regard it as a stupid idea in the first place.) The metal appears to be cheap tinplate, and it rusted. I can understand why they used very thin metal to save space, but couldn't they have sprung for stainless? Or brass? Or aluminum?

You need to ask the responsible person @IBM. :-)

I'm also not particularly fond of that thing. Not only it looks and feels cheap. I also fear that pulling it in and out "too often" might destroy it. :-)

:wq! PoC
