Marvin Venting Picture Window/ Useless?

Marvin loves to send me some really nice product brochures that will appeal to 1% of my clientèle. If I carried all these brochures that appeal to the 1% I would need a traveling library.

Their new? product is a venting picture window. It vents from the bottom and only vents a little over 2". They promote "air flow", how is the air getting in? At least with casement windows you can open one side if the wind is blowing from a side or both if the wind is blowing right at you.

So my question is....do any of you see a need for this product? Have you been sitting at home waiting for this great design? Do you think a max size 6'x6' picture window that vents will not give headaches down the road?

dart, I am not saying anything bad about Mr. Marvin, I assume he drives a nicer car lives in a nicer house and smokes a finer cigar than the average man. I just can't understand how he can make products that are needed/wanted by so few consumers.

The issue with the window is it is going to generate such little air flow.

If Wendy's has a Dave Thomas then Marvin needs a Mr Marvin.
