[edit] The Real Computer
The computer that appears in Labor Dabor appears to be a Tangerine colored second-generation slot-loading iMac G3, possibly a DV or Special Edition, running Mac OS 9. The computer featured either a 350, 400 or 500 MHz PowerPC G3 processor, supported up to 1 gigabyte of random access memory, and contained a 6-, 10-, or 13-gigabyte hard drive. The first slot loading iMacs were released October 4, 1999 and were offered in six colors, including Tangerine.
The logo on Tangerine Dreams (the same logo as on the Tandy 400)—a rainbow-colored star with a bite taken out of its side—is a play on the old Apple logo, a rainbow apple with a bite missing.
