Here's an interesting observation: The Portable was the last of the original Snow White design projects at Apple started by Frogdesign. Now, every Snow White product I have ever seen from the Apple //c through to the Mac II and external drives have those damn dust-collecting lines all the way around them, included the bottom of these devices which sit on a desktop never to see the light of day. EXCEPT the Portable! The only Snow White product which is intended to be set upright on it's rear like a briefcase and it has a completely flat bottom, with no detailing whatsoever. Go figure!
