Not only is the Mac OS quite customizable, especially with
destop images, appearance sets, and fonts, but the computer itself
can be customized. I've heard of one user who put a CD-ROM drive

These are their stories. Just remember to be careful if you
decide to customize your own Mac.

This popular process covers the drab beige or platinum finish with
a stone-lick appearance.
Ze PowerSuitcase, 6/2. Inside a
metal Smith-Corona typewriter case beats the heart of a Quadra
