How would a compact look today?

I was photo shopping an SE without drive slots

and then I had the idea, what if apple still made these things....

Sorry it's late and I'm quite bored.

Imagine a 9" version of the current 21" iMac and you might be close.

8-o THAT is incredibly fugly, Scott . . .

. . . but a GraphiteSE would be awesome! :approve:

I wonder how an iLamp would look in portrait mode with an iTanium paint job. . . .

. . . three "Classics" with one stone . . .

. . . that would have annoyed SJ no end. He had a well known aversion to portrait displays.

I like that compact iMac G3!

Those current iMacs are REALLY thin. They're pretty compact as they stand.

Like that.

The G3 would be frickin' awesome!

Would be at the top of my list if it existed.

Really, if we ever 'break the mold' (meaning find out how to cast a quality case) for a compact, bondi, graphite and flower power compacts need to exist haha

I agree wholeheartedly, that G3 compact looks amazing. xD

I know (of) a guy who cast his own Tron (arcade) trigger stick handles. It can be done, somebody just has to make the mold!

I honestly think I could pull off a resin cast of the front, but I don't even know where to start on the bucket end.

That trigger stick is a relatively small part . . . so far less troublesome. :-/

Meanwhile, I still think it'd take a Graphite G4 Special Edition Compact to get my seal of approval . . . or Indigo . . .

. . . almost anything but that horrible Blue-Green or PINK!

Shoot, pink was going to be the guinea pig!
