That is the title of a very interesting thread at the MacTalk Australia forums.

"Okay, so there I was in Newtown last week looking through Goulds Book Arcade (which is quite literally.. an awesome warehouse full of unorganized rows and rows of dusty books.. ) and I found this magazine..



'What the hell is this?' I thought.. it's Apple, yet clearly an unreleased concept. I opened it up to find much to my delight a plethora of design concepts that never came to fruition.

APPLE FANBOY GOLD.

The magazine is in Japanese, so I have no idea what most of the text says.. although there is the occasional spattering of english comments throughout. (can any MacTalkers translate?)
I have scanned & uploaded each & every page to this Flickr set - Apple concepts. (I also added little notes on what I thought of each device but unfortunately they cannot be embedded into BBcode, only HTML)
But for the sake of the thread, I will post small versions of each scan.. simply click through to be taken to the respective page's Flickr link.
Enjoy!"
