@craigmaloney blue raspberry was my favorite!!

@craigmaloney the absolute aesthetic pride to arrange them in pattern like that.

They didn't have to; coulda just set em down and plugged em in. But they took the time. Love it

@craigmaloney how willy wonka’s administrative headquarters must look like (candy computers) (with bite marks) (with willy wonka explaining that you shouldn’t eat the computer bc the electricity tastes bad in this part of the country)

@craigmaloney too bad the same people who want every house to just have eggshell-white paint on the walls saw to it that the Life-Saver-class Macs died a slow death. They were replaced by the grey ones. :o(

(on one hand, fair enough -- the grey ones sold better)

@craigmaloney damn this school had a budget of more than $2

@craigmaloney I miss them :(

@craigmaloney I've never met a computer that -wasn't- lickable.

@craigmaloney my first computer was a green one of these

@craigmaloney@octodon.social every computer is lickable if you're a hero

@craigmaloney
I’ve shown the photo and explained the history of those to my teenage daughter. She would « totally have one of those today »

@craigmaloney

@zleap
As a germ freak in recovery allow me to say "Eww" and "fuck no, let's fucking not."

@craigmaloney Unironically though!!! I miss when everything came in fun colors but boring people decided that was "tacky" so now everything is lame and monochrome. :(

@craigmaloney I still have my Bondi Blue in the attic....I was going to turn it into a fish tank but never did...🤷🏻‍♀️

@craigmaloney “Mac Gummies!”

@craigmaloney the single button mouse was such a hardship, I had to ctrl click my way through a right clicking world

@craigmaloney I read this as likeable and I still agree

@craigmaloney Hahaha, I was reminiscing with my friends at work about the five fruit iMacs (and the original Bondi blue) yesterday. :blobfoxthumbsup:

@craigmaloney any computer is lickable if you're brave enough!

@craigmaloney no one believes me when I tell them they tasted like plastic.

@craigmaloney

My iMac was tangerine. Tangy, but delicious!

@craigmaloney @mattymedlyn ahhhh memories… still have one 🤣

@craigmaloney @blu3fl0w they took this from you

@craigmaloney

I never owned a Mac, but I remember the song from the ad for these.

@craigmaloney@octodon.social Wow, the memories! Make computers fun again! Newer Macs are just so cold and sterile looking.

@craigmaloney Most computers are lickable if you try hard enough.

@craigmaloney heck yeah!!

@craigmaloney @AndorianSoup When you work in a public library, all computers are lickable.

The things I cannot unsee…

@craigmaloney
my robosona is kinda inspired by these!!!!

@craigmaloney feeling nostalgic for that translucent plastic on electrical goods they had round the Millennium

@craigmaloney
And Channel 1 News.
@robey

@craigmaloney so beautiful

@craigmaloney Come now: I had a Bondi Blue iMac, I licked it. I was high for MONTHS! Not as much fun as you think: I missed an entire season of “Friends”!!

@craigmaloney You can keep the puck mice though.

@craigmaloney Slurp slurp

@craigmaloney the m in Macintosh stands for mdma

@craigmaloney All right but who put that blueberry where there was clearly supposed to be a grape? And the grape where there was supposed to be a tangerine?
