You know, given the problem of the GS cases (and other "Platinum" cases)
yellowing, it makes one wonder why Apple didn't just stick with the beige

But then, remember what happened at about the same time?  Apples were
beige, IBM PC's were grey.  Then suddenly the world shifted.  All the
Apples turned grey, and IBM introduced the PS/2, which was...beige.
