The 'retro' qualification is met by an all-in-one very compact Mac that has all the cuteness of the first Macs, and the small footprint! Once that criterion is met, IMHO, there's nothing inherently more 'retro' in an 030 than an 040, though I guess the sight of the original 68000 'aircraft carrier' CPU in the heart of the first Macs might count. G4s and compacts aren't mutually incompatible, of course. It's just a question of finance stopping me putting a G4 in the Taco. ;-) Stuart -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
