Within 3 hours of receiving the photos they got back to me saying that they recognized it but could not legally (because of non-disclosure/confidentially agreements) give me any info about my prototype or any other prototype. They congratulated me on having it, but said that it should not have ever left the control of Apple or the employee who it was entrusted to."

Che ne vuoi sapere, era stravagante e quasi considerato scandaloso il primo iMac nel '98, magari temevano che la stampa specializzata, già non troppo amica di Apple, potesse silurarla per questo affronto al concetto collettivo di computer (scatolone grigio con dos o al massimo windows 3 destinato ad una certa fascia di utenza che non era sicuramente quella attuale).
