It's a PC, but whatever.

Certainly not the best design they could have come up with.

An interesting attempt, though.

I don't personally like it that way, but when it's closed, it looks a little better. But they need to ditch the Lima Bean color -- nasty. Interesting idea, though.

I hear there is a Museum of National Ugly Things being built staring the computer setup in that Mac. :rolleyes:

Add some texture to the outside and paint it up like a basketball, and you may be able to see it to sports nuts with the team logo on the side.

make the sphere clear plastic and the keyboard and mouse like the apple pro keyboard and mouse...and then you have a cool looking product

add to that a clear cinema screen

but only apple's industrial designers would come up with something that would look nice

leave it to the pc world, and they botch the looks...expept for sony and fujitsu

we have the 1/2 sphere with the imac;)
