Thanks Bruce.  Now I've got to go find a "cheap" pair of them somewhere...

I believe that there were a few variants produced by Apple over the years; 
however the only ones I've ever seen didn't have anything over the speakers. 
Maybe knock-offs? 

(ISTR once upon a time even seeing a cheap knockoff of the orginal iMac 'Hockey 
puck' mouse with two buttons for PC use…hey at least it was computer-related, 
unlike the iVaccuum 

 , the iRon,  and the 
iGrill 
 all 
back from the sdays when all restaurants were Taco Bell and all appliances were 
translucent teal and white :-)

iMac G4 "eyeball" speakers

[D. Fabel]

I was recently given a 17" G4 iMac.  It's a cute little machine, but didn't 
come with any speakers.  I'm see that speakers abound on eBay, but I'm noticing 
some of them seem to have clear plastic grills with 3 large holes over the 
front of the speaker.  

Now I'm curious.  Was this how they were manufactured and most speakers have 
had them break or lost over the years or was this an aftermarket option?

Thanks,
