For some reason, a lot of the hardware intended for Windows users came in semi-translucent plastic cases.
- throwanem 7y agoJudging by how poorly it was supported on classic Mac OS vs. contemporary Windows, a lot of those manufacturers were probably kept afloat by PC sales. Besides, it was the late 90s. What wasn't in semi-translucent plastic, those days?

- flomo 7y agoTo this day, everyone copies Apple's industrial design. So I'm not sold those Braun Iron printers were for Mac users, or just what was in fashion for the time.
