    Dude, I'm so glad you posted that. I had no idea that there was an old internet archive like that. Anyway, to stay on topic, here's my all-time FAVORITE future mac mockup ever, which I was able to dig up from that archive. It was posted by someone named drewprops on the old Appleinsider page. Alessandro, one of the 3D modelling gurus had agreed to try doing a 3D mockup of this when the Appleinsider crashed, so he never posted his attempt.







    EDIT: another one did load. It just took awhile.

    The old AI! How we all miss ye!



    For those young 'uns, the drawings Apple Fuji posted were of a description of a Dorsal G4.

    PS Talking about Dorsal makes me feel betrayed

    Good thread, but not for content. That pretty much validates my opinion of Dorsal and Kormacs ~inside information~.



    Kormacs specialty is the 'Cleveland Steamer', and in that thread he delivered!

    Then I must be confusing the original with one of dorsal copies that was spewing crap out last spring at an alarming rate.



    I sprawl corrected.

    I remember it too, because that is when I found/joined AI. I bought my iBook a month or so later based on info from the forums and the fact that I found a steal of a deal on a previous generation 600/DVD when the new iBooks rolled out that spring.



    ahhhh... those were the days <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laughing]" />

    Note my membership date....January '99. The only AI member that I -know- has been here longer than me is JRC, his is Nov '98....I even think it's in his sig.



    Golly, I remember AI back when I joined it....now THOSE were the days!

    I remember that thread too. It was something of a genesis when kormac76 confessed that he was only guessing. I wonder where he is now.



    Oh, and while we're all vaunting ourselves: I posted in that thread as well. Only diff: I no longer start my UID with a lowercase "e".
