It can still look like a /// with a detached keyboard that’s a continuation of the main case. Commodore did that with their office machines (the rounded ones).

I think the beige is important as part of the apology ;-)

Frankly, I’d accept a beige Mac Mini with a rainbow Apple logo on top and call it a day.

I’m sure Tim Cool lurks around these pages.



Given how there's plenty of market for retro nostalgia kit, I'm surprised nobody is making a modern desktop PC that pushes the same aesthetic buttons.

Beige paint is no more expensive than white or black. A desktop form factor would be good for today's super-heavy video cards. Since we no longer design around internal optical drives, etc, you could probably whip up something micro-ATX that looked a lot like an IIgs or the IIsi mockup, maybe with some USB ports in the front "lip" for convenience sake.

Fun typo for Tim Apple. ;-)
