G5 Drives Arrive!
July 22, 2003
Apple’s newly-introduced G5 tower has everyone buzzing. The specifications are certainly enticing, but the first thing one notices is the sleek new metal enclosure. Dave Brasgalla has created a series of drive icons in the popular World Of Aqua style that draw their inspiration directly from this latest flexing of Apple’s industrial design muscle. G5 Drives include the hard drive icons needed for the relevant categories in CandyBar, plus many extras. Dave has even thrown in some preview icons from upcoming, related sets. Now you can have the G5 look – rows of tiny holes and all – right on your desktop. It may not be the same as having the real thing, but it’s quite a bit cheaper and it’s available today!
