> Mac people are often talking a Beige G3, B&W or a Blue something else. > Is the color of a Mac significant? > It is useful when trying to describe two different Macintosh models that share the same basic name/form/architecture, such as the original "beige" G3s (the last of the "Old World" PowerMacs) and its successor, the funky plastic iMac-like "Blue & White" USB/no floppy "new world" PowerMac.
The Powerbook G3s are worse, there are about 4 different Powerbook models that share the G3 moniker yet each have subtle variations; terms like "Bronze keyboard" help. The Powerbook G4 is usually referred to as a "TiBook". With iBooks, there's the original "Clamshell" iBook with all the funky colours and the newer "snow white" iBook, with a more conservative and businesslike clear-over-white polycarbonate finish. CRT iMacs are often categorised by their CD drive mechanisms; earlier ones were "tray-loading" whereas the later ones are "slot loading".
