I had a ruby iMac with DVD rom. I couldnt burn disks, we had no USB flash drives, there was no floppy drive, so transferring data was a pain. I bought an iomega zip 100 drive for transfers. Was a bit of an oversight on the part of Apple.
I remain convinced that the original iMac was designed as an office workstation.

No floppy, no writable optical storage, and a 100Mbps ethernet port.

The thing was going to be beige. I can't prove it, but it just screams "I was supposed to be an office product, but somebody put me in a weird blue shell!"

Funny enough, the first one I actually touched WAS an office workstation, blue shell and all. The ISP where I worked got one. It sat on the desk with a VT-220 at the helpdesk. (All our workstations had a computer and a terminal, most of the computers were Windoze 95 junk, but we had a few Macs.)
 
The idea sounds super cool but when you look at the final result perhaps they should have canned it.

I knew a lot of people with these in college and every single one of them had an attached USB floppy. I had a Zip, as well, since our dorms only had dial-up at the time, and I had to walk to main campus to get broadband speeds.

As for this charger thing? Naa..

Costly. But looks very nice and think it will look good on a desk. Might buy one.

This is so ridiculous. I just ordered two. :p

No Bondi Blue yet on their site, maybe it's sold out.

I do wish they would've added colored grills over the tiny 'speakers' to fully round out the throwback look.

Any charger from a quality brand is all around the same price so $35 is not really that much more for adding something nostalgic to the item. In fact I would say that I am pleasantly surprised that it is this reasonable. Most often the companies who build nostalgic items will uncharge a LOT more than 20%
