Yeah, but this one's probably more affordable....

I'd like a mini keychain version.

I once envisioned an eMac/iMac in the shape of a giant apple logo. the keyboard would flick out the bottom half of the logo and the screen would rest in the bite. Airport was availiable via the leaf. This was years ago when I was bored in class. My original drawings have now dissapeared

A green apple-shaped eMac would certainly have been a collectors item.

could be awesome for...

could be awesome for a little blue tooth handset. As a collectors edition or something.

back in 1985, that would have been a lot cooler than the radio-shack brick cell phones which were commonly available.
