iMac "colors" commercial parody, take two

your humble reporter just re-purposed a quicktime collage
arising from an in-joke over at nobeige.com, when springtime
rumors of a re-skinned all-black dvd-totin' large-tube machine
codenamed "8 ball" made the rounds.

since my 5-year-old twins couldn't get

apple.com

out of their minds' eyes, i did a few qt3 codec experiments
to unearth from the sixties some doppelganger nostalgia to bide
for equal time. with the advent of qt4 and better use of rendered
transitions, it's a bit kinder on machines as old as some people are...

importantly, the generic codename is presumably more accurate.

although i don't intend to make a career out of keeping up
a vanity website, you are welcome to peruse the page at:

home.earthlink.net

please forgive the associated text of what appears to be
pompous bombast about a matter both serious and serendipitous.
it's an "on notice" message for IP attorneys who might stray there
to cross the red door transom.

all in fun,
retiarius
