All good fodder. Thanks again ... though they all still look beige to me, being unable to tell one subtle colour change from another at the best of times, and I still really like my little LC575.
As for the 5200-5500 form factor, I am not at all fond of it, finding it a rather boxy, unexciting and unimaginative design. This is no doubt a case of chacun à son goût, but it may also have something to do with the fact that I suffered through a year or so of 5200 ownership, and have painful memories of that particular lump of ... plastic.
Kunkel's Apple Design is something I have never seen in the flesh (like most of us in these parts), though from the same website cited I did know about the Snow White and Frog Design phases. The ensuing Espresso, which the timeline in view on the website falls short of, gives me something else to explore, though without Kunkel, it is likely to be hard to find much information. I think, however, that I might just begin working on that deficit this evening by taking a peek at that YouTube video.
