    Believe it or not, the translucent plastics remind me of classic Handspring/Palm devices from the late 90s. I kind of like it.

    For example:

    And ... now I'm nostalgic for the pre-smartphone era again.

    Those look like nicer greens.

    It might be just the TomrCOs Hardware site that has done something to
    the colour (anti)correction that ends up reminding me of stagnant
    water.

    It does still exist, you know.
