Glad you said before I clicked!

huh? I clicked around quite a bit. I didn't find any evidence of any phishing scam. Just pics of old Apple products... as advertised..
 
I remember those—they looked like giant molars!

And look at the translucent top/back: they’re clearly a predecessor of the original iMac (and original iBook, G3 tower, etc.—all those curvy translucent machines)

But three other translucent products—all pre-iMac—come to mind too:

* The Apple eMate was a translucent aqua-colored laptop, a year before the first iMac.

* The original 15” Studio Display was dark blue/gray translucent, matching nothing else Apple ever made!

* The original beige PowerMac G3 tower had a “Bondi blue” translucent blob/latch on top.

Personally, I liked Apple’s transparent/minimalist phase better than the blobby translucent phase! But they had to start somewhere...

The eMate was, essentially, a de-tuned Newton MP2000 with a keyboard.

I had an original Manta VGA Studio Display (the later Bondi displays featured an ADC) but someone recently stole it out my mother's home (I had lent it to her). So, if, within the last three months, you acquired an original Manta within 2-3 hours drive of Durham, NC, I'd love to hear about the circumstances.

I had a Molar Mac -- bought it on eBay and the shipping cost far more than the purchase price. (Oops.)

huh?

I find no evidence of any phishing links. Are you sure you went to the right web page?
 
Ah. I loved my G3 AIO - that was the computer I got to take to college with me. That thing was a BEAST! It even had a built in Zip drive. I remember thinking the original iMacs were just a bastardization of my G3 AIO. though they were much, much lighter!

My parents actually *just* sent it off to Apple to be recycled this summer :( I replaced it with a tangerine iBook when I switched schools. What a fun trip down memory lane!

Maybe it's a problem on your end. Everything checks out for me.
 
I'm not seeing any evidence of a phishing scam either...

As for old Apple products, I had a pair of AppleDesign power speakers back in the early 1990's. I loved them and design-wise they matched my Quadra 650 quite nicely.
 
Sounds like a good idea for one awesome coffee table book!

It already was an insanely great idea: Appledesign: The Work of the Apple Industrial Design Group (which is very pricey if you can find it... and, no, you can't have my copy ;) )

Publication Date: October 1, 1997
On Apple's 20th anniversary, the firm's groundbreaking and colorful design history is laid out more fully than ever before. With the author awarded complete access by Apple to its archives and executives, this is the most detailed study of the company and its products ever published. The book covers all the goods made and sold by Apple, and also discusses concepts for products that never made it to production. 400 color and b&w illustrations.
 
Like Apple even made servers! Huge behemoth machines judging from the pictures I've seen...

They have had a long and colorful career trying to give average human beings above average products. (Except for the Apple III from personal experience)
 
Good luck to them trying to get hold of an Apple I; only 40-50 reported to still be in existence and the last one sold for $210,000! :eek:

If they're lucky then maybe they would be able to track down a few collectors would be willing enough to allow them to take a few photos of their collection, but other than that I doubt they would be able to take a photo of every product that Apple has released. :rolleyes:

It would be awesome if they did, it would be an ultimate Apple wiki. :)

Some Apple products are more interesting than others.

I'm fairly certain my first laptop, back when I was about 6, a PowerBook 150, is on there. Memories. :3
 
My Mac now has a fly down box wanting me to participate in a survey. Is that actually from Macrumors or is it some malware from this history site? It's only on one of my macs and is the one that I visited this site with.

What URL are you at? Does the fly down box stay when you refresh the page?
 
Ads come and go constantly, which is why I asked if it's still there when you refresh the page. Is it?
