IIRC, the original "pout" lipped FDD openings were all off-center, so the question probably never came up . . .
. . . until the Vhack sillinessstarted in MinerAl's I want to do this thread.
The curvilinear entry for the new manual inject FDDs is pure Espresso, as opposed to the boxy Snow White injection/removal cavity for 5.25" Twiggy and A// FDDs . . .
. . . the Mac's :-* "pout" is much more elegant and efficient than the similar, but blocky and more shallow, centered
of the PC's 3.5" manual inject/eject FDDs.
Be that as it may . . . I think it looks more like a robotic Jordy Laforge :-* . . .
)
IMO, the 700 fits very nicely into that "Towers of Power" illustration. it's the only one of the bunch to overtly display Snow White design language influences, while fitting in with the later towers. Representing the IIcx MiniTower series, the very first tower configration Mac, was a necessity. The IIcx or IIci would look totally out of place in that Illustration as I see it.
Me likes industrial design topics. :approve:
