Yes. My Mac TV looks great as do all of my PowerBooks.
I wonder how well all those beautiful translucent plastics of the new iMac generation will fare? Not to mention all those bright white iMacs & portables ...
One thing is for sure the aluminum models should clean up real nice in 30 years! But then the original Macintosh wouldn't be the same in a metal enclosure.
But seriously, equill, we can deduce now that plastics were never meant to withstand the test of time, but what did they think then? I mean Jobs was producing "art" and having his team sign it. Art is intended to last for the ages, so was Jobs simply deluding himself? Kunkle's "Apple Design" goes into Mannock's choice of color for the Macintosh, which was specifically to reduce the creeping orange hue that plagued the Lisa as well as the use of other plastics to minimize the deteriorative effects. Certainly there was an effort to mitigate the problem in the short term, but did the designers know there would never be a long term solution?
Oddly, the very thing that inspired Jobs, a Cuisinart coffee maker in white which sat on my kitchen counter since the late 80s in direct sunlight is as white today as it was then, despite also generating large amounts of heat during the coffee brewing process and sitting in my garage for many recent years.
Granted manufacturing and business practices are financially driven and the overriding factor is to get products to market at any cost, but do these products need degrade simply because they are plastic?
