Description
I love the old retro apple macs. So vectored one, the keyboard took ages (its not perfect)Designed as one of the old manuals (its in foreign language as it was the only ref I found)
May change this into an advertsing poster for the sale of this retro machine, not sure yet.

I found one of those in my father's room, and once tried to turn it into a fish tank.

Very well done -- I don't see what you see wrong in the keyboard. It looks fine to me.
Yes, I too like the retro look of Macs... Or of any other computer, for that matter. I am a collector of computer oddities, and my precious IBM PS/2 is still up and kicking (actually, I'm using its keyboard to type this, because I like the clack-clack sound of its keys better than modern, soft keyboards).

Classic Mac was a paradigm shift for artists of that era, Apple invented the mouse, and dictated "it was a dent in the universe" the click to execute GUI was the first step towards making software suitable for graphics.
I can see many senior artists working on Mac today , and they simply love it. But as PC gets more advanced everyday, both in terms of hardware and software, there is not much left for the Macintosh.
I have a G4 with Studio Display for some advertisement work we do, but I always work on my Pentium 4 coupled with LG Flatron TFT LCD. My hands are not capable of moving the heavy mouse smoothly, on the other hand, this heavy mouse with single click becomes a habbit of Mac graphic artists, so they refuse to work on Windows.
I can understand, and respect that interest, I can say that I had Donkey Kong Nintendo game and Atari gaming console when I was a kid, today I will spent much to get these back just for the sake of memories.
Best Wishes

I could definitely understand how the keyboard must have made you go mad with placing points

yeah my uncle had one too, sat on his shelf. never used it but I always loved the way it looked, even if it is beige lol

beige!! lol
wish I could find one.. maybe in a garage sale or somethin...

Nice use of the copyrighted classic Apple logo.
Nice job, though. They should release limited edition Macs made out of the old beige plastic they made the old ones out of. That would be sweet...
Or release an Apple Mac Plus with dual 2.7 GHz G5s, 8 GB of RAM, GeForce 6800 GT, two 250 GB hard drives, Airport Extreme, Bluetooth...
Oooh, I'm rambling.
