Yo compacters everywhere,

Our Jason White <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> askz:

<What are the physical dimensions of a Color Classic? The reason I ask is because for 
a while I had an SE and an SE/30 on this printer stand... >

Not to worry too much. The Color Classic is the exact same width as the SE and our 
other "real" compacts. It will fit on top of all of those zero footprint external 
drive cases just fine looking like it belongs there. I suspect this exact same width 
was to sell to schools where the size of their computer labs was already fixed at the 
size of an SE. The front to back depth is a couple of inches more to accomodate the 
longer color CRTs of that day. The height is a couple of inches higher probably to 
make the innards more user accessable than with the earlier compacts. The rounded top 
of the Color Classic's case is a bit problematic - you can't set things on top of it 
as readily as with the SE. I doubt that this was done for any other than cosmetic 
reason as there are no vent louvers in the top. Indeed, the Color Classic's fan pushes 
mighty air through the back with louver vents on the sides. The weight of the Color 
Classic is notably heavier than an SE likely in the 30# region!
 . The Color Classic turns on from the keyboard so you need not be concerned with 
fabricating a turn-on switch. And then there is that lovely crisp Trinitron color 
screen. Enjoy!

Bill
