In my opinion the fruit flavor iMacs and the clamshell iBooks were incredibly ugly.
Same feeling towards the original versions of MacOSX with the “lickable” candy color theme.

- meddlepal 7y agoThe colorful iMac and iBook were a fun for the times reaction to the banality of mostly beige and sometimes black boxes most 90's computer users were used to seeing. You have to kind of look at and consider them in the context of their time. I do kind of miss fun colored devices. We're in a new era of beige with all this brushed aluminum and glass. I really would love some funky colored electronics again.
