I remember really liking that show back in college. That and Ally McBeal were two of the shows my roommate and I always made sure to tape since we weren’t home when they were on.

There’s one aspect of that show that always bugged me, her laptop. It was an Apple laptop and would get on my nerves that Apple (or even Felicity’s prop dept) didn’t make one with the Apple logo flipped over so it would be right side up when it’s facing the camera.

I can’t quickly find a picture of her, so here’s Noel (?) with one.

Edit, when I said it’s always bugged me, I mean always. I knew I’ve mentioned it before, I didn’t realize it was over 20 years ago.

(I mean I understand physically why it’s the wrong way, I just wondered why apple didn’t manufacture it the other way, so the logo is rightside up to the person staring at the back of your laptop.)

> I had always thought they should be that way, who cares what it looks like when it’s closed (and generally you’re the only person who sees it), they should be more concerned with how it looks when the notebook is open, when LOTS of people can see it (be it just a few people in an office, or millions of people watching primetime TV.)
