No idea where I'd look to find the link now, but ages ago I saw a similar
pic. It was of a prop made for a movie (according to the site I saw it
on). The guts of a compact mac including the CRT were mounted in an
underwood typewriter. No visible ADB mouse, floppy drive, and definitely
no intel inside badge. I don't know how functional it is if at all, but
the desktop on the CRT didn't look faked.
