Scouring the web for tidbits on early Macs (I’m having a nostalgia
night, leave me alone) I came across this outstanding history of Macintosh design page. Touches on Snow White,

of these books, it’s an excellent resource.

Hey, apparently there’s a class-action lawsuit on
behalf of Aiwa minisystem owners
alleging CD read failures over
time. My model’s included. I haven’t observed it to stop playing CDs
altogether, but I’ve always been annoyed at its direct track access
(that is, jumping to a specific track; the first half-second or so is
always completely skipped, which makes random mode + Dave Matthews =
complete disaster). [Thanks, Todd.]
