I forgot about those. My dad had one of these and one of the newer ACDs side by side once while upgrading, and IMO the old one is a nice design. Also, it wasn't glossy as hell.
I can't imagine them making anything like this ever again. I think they're too professional for any kind of crazy designs anymore. I'm actually a little surprised they still offer iPod Nano's/Shuffle's in different colors still. But I guess those are cheaper things that they know will be highly directed towards kids and such just as much as anyone else.
I'm a massive Quicksilver G4 fan, love that design. Best of the G4s imo. Titanium PB's look pretty amazing as well.
Also, that first run Mac Pro Look everyone had going on in 06, MacPro+30'' Cinema Display and the Old Apple Wireless Keyboard and mouse. Such an awesome look.
Its just the opposite of Apple design. Doesn't mean its bad, some people like myself are into crazy looking ultra high performance laptops. And by high performance, I mean it. Apple laptops don't come anywhere close in the performance department.
Iam not saying the product is bad, just expressing a personal preference and it IS the opposite of design where clean lines and minimal illumination seem to be the design criteria and the look i prefer. Enjoy yours i'am enjoying mine.
