    Familiar byline from food marketing? I seem to recall a lot of fear mongering related to food coloring at the time (most of which turned out to be overblown) making that a cutesy/tongue-in-cheek headline coming from a tech company.

        Ah I forgot the fruit schema for the colors! lol

        Honestly some of the jelly style molded acrylic designs from that era were pretty sick, even by today’s standards. I remember the G4 cube with matching Harmon Kardon Soundsticks and display/keyboard/mouse as a standout example of a short lived concept that might still appear futuristic today.

          Especially compared to contemporary computers. I mean late nineties, everything was beige beige beige, MAYBE black.

        this was Apple’s peak for design. I can’t stand apple products but if they made an iphone in this colorway I would be tempted.
