No Opi Wand, It were not I what named them. As stated in the response you quoted, "Porthole" was used as the earliest reference to these Macs on the web.
Did Opi Wand Officially name these Macs??? "They are Quicksilver's, and Mirrored Drive Doors. Officially." Said Opi Wand...... Did Steve and the boys call and impart these holy names to you the Certified, the Solution, the Administrator of all that is Apple? Let me prostrate myself and swear to never mumble the profane again. "Porthole" covers far too many machines to be a useful term" Said Opi Wand. Opi can you name one other machine, any other machines, but the new towers that the description of Porthole could be confused with? I suggest that you are the only one confused by this. Contrary to what you said, "Porthole" has been very "useful term" in flushing out self important bombast.
