If you wanna dig real deep, the first use would have been on the Power Macintosh 9600. It's subtle -- you can just about see it in the Wikipedia photo -- but it has a translucent blue plastic latch button on the top of the machine that I believe is the same shade as the eMate. It was introduced about a month earlier.
