Speaking of Mac Portables, how much would you pay for
a very rare
(prototype?) Mac Portable in a clear plastic case? I couldn't overcome my
lack of love for Macs to pay the $300 asking price today (but somebody
else did about an hour later).
Did they finally sell that stupid thing, or did they just say they did?
That dumb thing has been around for over a year now. Everytime I saw the
guy, he was "taking offers". I was going to offer $200-$300 next time I
saw it, but that was last year. It wasn't really a prototype, but rather
a special edition that was made by some rogue engineers inside Apple or
something like that for some comemorative event.
What is it with Apple and clear plastic cases anyways?
I think I remember
clear plastic Apple ]['s at dealers. Did Apple do this for all of their
models?
I was talking to a guy one day and he mentioned that it was a fad at one
point to build clone Apple ][s in clear plastic cases.
