[NTLK] Remove the sticky skin of a 2000

Thu Sep 20 17:45:33 EDT 2018

Actually the first iMacs (Rev A & Rev B) were in only one color: Bondi
Blue; they were discontinued in January 1999. The iMac (Five Colors) was
released in January 1999 and was discontinued in July 2000. These were the
Rev. C & Rev. D models of the tray-loading optical drive and the first of
the slot-loaders.

So you want the second color batch.

Sincerely,
Dennis B. Swaney
