I assume the CD32 has the same dimensions as the predecessor, the "CD". Makes one think about perhaps a 19" rack mounted Amiga

Probably completely inconvenient for the typical usage.. but there's something about it

Think German time for IRC. It's not exactly convenient for people in the states.
Which is why discussion forums are so much better. Aside from that people tend to think more before hitting enter in such type of communication.
