No, it wasn't that. It was in 1993, the year the NeXTstation was discontinued, so I doubt I'd have seen it in a prominent place in a store display. Also, it looked bigger, more solid.

The point is that while today I see black computers and gadgets as normal (the laptop I'm writing at now is a pure black ThinkPad), it wasn't always like that, there was a time when black was rare for computers.
