I had a Wallstreet that broke (the hinges were crap and broke, and then broke on the first replacement from Apple. Also the rubberized texture on the middle of the top case flaked) so it got replaced with a Lombard, which shared the clear brown keycaps with the Pismo. I always missed the black keycaps from the Wallstreet.

The Wallstreet also had a rainbow Apple logo under the screen like a proper Mac laptop. ;)

But if you're looking for a retro one, the Wallstreet ones had some major reliability issues that they improved in the Lombard and Pismo.

A bit silly to talk about how fast installing OS 9 on an SSD is, though. The original HD would be way slower.
