@Trekintosh I saw your comment on Computer Clan's YouTube video about the Molar Mac:



Very, very cool info.

For some reason, I can't comment on YouTube videos – it posts, then disappears. I tried to reply to your comment with a link to my GitHub since someone was asking how to mod their card.
I think youtube doesn't like links in comments, or it might be a per channel settings or something. Not sure. I did tell them what to google and who it was by 🙂

And yeah, that was a thing. Jobs really didn't like the Molar, despite it being a Johnny Ives-pushed design. Whatshisname, the guy who "designed" it was pushed very strongly in this direction by Ives. I think that what Ken posits, that it was an experiment with certain manufacturing techniques, is accurate. Its why I'm considering painting my molar's yellowed transparent plastics bondi blue.
