Yeah, it was a fun, cool time (1999-2001 or so). Heck, I even find myself kinda missing Blue Dalmation and Flower Power sometimes!
Pretty much been "aluminum and white, ever thinner" for the past 4-5 years now. And they look great, don't get me wrong...about as classy and stylish as anyone could ever hope to be. But there was just something fun and unexpected during that whole colored, curvy translucent plastic period. How that look spread to other non-computer items was fun to watch...you'd walk into a Target or Staples in 2000 and see the iMac/iBook-inspired staplers, desk lamps, vacuum cleaners and water bottles.
Goodness knows some dorks snagged their share of the fruit-colored goodies... *ahem*
