I am not sure where to post this, so why not here?
Something that I had not realized until this week is that the LC5xx series' styling is strikingly similar to the Color Classic. Once I saw that, I decided that I really like my little LC575. It looks great on the shelf next to my Color Classic.
Then I went looking around my 'lab', and discovered that some of the same motifs (e.g., the sound/ ventilation holes, the radius of the curves) are also picked up in unexpected places, e.g., on the IIxv-Q650-7100 cases, and on the PowerBook Duo series. The CC, the LC575, and the Duo (via the DuoDock) even have 'feets'.
I have had several of these around me for years, and yet I had never noticed any of these affinities before. Then this week, while devoting an hour or so to a relative newcomer, the LC575, I had my little epiphany.
Are there other family resemblances to the Color Classic that I have missed, and does anyone know the name for that particular 'design language'?
