A bit of cool trivia. (Sorry if this has been covered before)
 I recently took an Adobe Acrobate class. All the computers were the new Mac
G4s.OK I will get to the point.As I sat there drifting off, I began admiring
the mouse. It is see through Gray and Clear with a  mouse ball is half gray
and half white so when you roll it around it looks like a toy. I turned it
over to get a closer look. And there on the bottom it look like the inside
of the mouse was made up of a silver heavy steel grate. This just can't be.
Upon closer examination, took my fingernail and rubbed it across, ZZZZZTTT
ZZZZZTT, I realized that the bottom plastic panel was a lenticular of a
steel grate. I then noticed that they used the same material on the back of
the 19" Monitor and the CPU. Subtle but Cool! Ahh yes, simple pleasures for
simple minds!!  I wonder if they used they used the 1/30 rule. no no, never
mind. :>)
