has anyone else who
has seen the new imacs
in person noticed
that the cd slot in front
is a shade different
then the rest of the base
it's not noticable in
the pictures but it
really stands out
when seen in the flesh
eh?
just wondering
it it was just me . . .

Probably a different plastic, so it can't color match presicely.

LOL lunardelite. I tried to read your post as was it a poem or a song. It actually made sense in some strange Suzanne Vega kind of way. Anyone know the melody for lunardelites post?

yeah
but if it
is different
shading then the
imac looks tacky
if apple cares
so much for
design and aesthetics
then how can
different shades
past quality/design control
it's like
the cracks in the cube
all over again
apple can't have
it both ways
it's not like
the imacs are
inexpensive
iunno
just ranting

From way upon high
Jobs speaks. It is not a bug.
It is a feature.
Color varieted -
Means SuperDrive is found fast
In low light settings.
Shiller agrees. Says:
"It is an awesome advance!"
"Only on iMac!"
Ives is 404 -
"Designer not found." I fear
Freshly bruised Briton.
Dell is already
Making off-color drive doors.
Mike will take credit.
Bill Gates, unhappy.
No one gives a shit about
That stupid Mira.

I saw the new machine at an Apple Store ... the difference in tone is minimal, and only noticeable up-close.

the g4 case
also has variation
i think this is
because the case
is matte and
the door for
the cd tray
is shiny

It's not much different, but it's noticeable.

Is it perhaps
because you can see
the black of the tray
beneath the front plate?

the only difference
is that one is matte
and one is glossy
