Help needed creating a dock icon -- pictures of an iBook G3

I've recently had a request to create an iBook G3 icon (the coloured ones).

Problem is don't seem to be able to find any good pictures of them from behind. I don't know how the keyboard should show, and how it should look closed. The people who requested it don't seem to want to reply to my email, but I've started it so might as well finish! I was wondering if anyone with one of these laptops would be so kind as to submit pictures from the back, open and closed.

Here's what I've got so far:

Thanks in advance :smile:

Thanks, but those are similar pictures to what I get with a google image search. What I could really do with is pictures from the exact angle on the icon (open and closed). I'd usually use Apple's Quicktime VRs, which are of course long gone for that iBook.

I'd suppose no one on this forum uses such an old machine (or can be bothered to get it out!) but it'd be great if I could get first-hand pics.

Worst comes the the worst, I'm sure I can make a pretty educated guess.

Nothing's long gone.

Cheers :grin:

Probably should have looked there myself. Loving the luminous green...
