For those of you who have more money than you know what to do with (after
buying a Mac of course), here is a product that you may be interested in.
Personally, I think this is humorous, but never knock down a capitalist at
work...

(more stuff deleted) Actually, this guy's work is really terrific, if you haven't seen examples of it at MacWorld Expos and such events. I'm not sure *I* would spend $500 or more for a granite/marble/woodgrain/PopArt Mac case, but there are those who do (J.L. Gassee, for one, according to reports). Highly recommended for those who already have their IIcx's and are looking for something a little different... Disclaimer: I'm in no way connected with Aesthetics Technology nor do I even own one of their nifty cases, but the more I think about it...

This is true (my office was across the hall from JLG for a year and a half) As far as I know, he has a granite one and for a while there was also a really cool Mac Plus that had what would be best described as floating jellybeans (they were painted with shadows). When I get rich and famous, it's one of the first things I'll get (after a house and a cool car and...) _emt
