Sounds right. I have a very early //e that has the BIG white letters on 
brownish keys and a bunch of later //es that have the smaller black letters.
Actually I much prefer the white letters. I also prefer the beige cases as 
they look much better with the duodisk and mono monitor.
Purely from a design perspective you really can't beat the //c and //c+, 
surely one of the best looking computers ever made.
