Dear Wamuggers

A friend (if I only had one... ;-) told me recently that Steve Jobs was inspired by a Jetsons computer when designing the first iMac. Did he design that iMac? Was it Jetsons-inspired? What is the design base for subsequent models up to the latest white slab.

If you can get your hands on a copy, check out Appledesign: The Work of the Apple Industrial Design Group, it has some beautiful pictures of products that never were, and products that look very familiar

(Yes, I get a kickback from that link :)

Have fun,
Shay
