They used that thick coating over here too. Usually it's a really dark
gray, almost black. If it's on real think you can read the sigs anymore, but
they are still there. Not sure, but the cases on the Euro models may have come
from a different facility and they may not have the sigs inside. But many of
the cases are signed, I spotted some inside the Quadra 800 I have, and I
believe I have seen them inside a Mac Portable, under the motherboard.
