Ben and everyone,
* So Origional G3's are beige and 333Mhz ?
* Powerbook G3 have 4 colors and each of the four colors have different
features AND if it is one of these 4 colors it will be at least 400Mhz?
So Blue & White is one of these 4 colors
[ Like PM 6500/225 , PM 6500/250 and PM 6500/275 ? ]
[What, are numbers that mean something out and color codes in?]
PB G3/333 , PB G3/400 , PB G3/450 is that too hard for Apple now?
If this is true it's a sad state of affairs. I thought the colors were a
gimmick to sell more Macs to the young in-crowd !
* Powerbook G4 is a TiBook [Hey, what color is that?
Is there more than one color?]
*Clamshell iBooks with funky colors [funkier than the four above PB G3's?]
* Snow white iBooks [perfect for Spring but how about Fall?]
Trayloading iMacs ...... ? CD trays ?
SlotLoading iMacs ....... ? .Zip slots?
Do keyboards and monitors have to match?
It's a sadddd state of affairs if you are color blind, eh?
I hope there is more substance to this color issue, because getting away from
numbers that meant something in the real world and changing to colors and shades of
colors is really insulting on Apples part.
Gail [who knows what she is dealing with with PowerMac numbers]

Ben explained:
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".
