Um, no.
The Snow White design was truly white, not beige.

Snow white wasn't a design it was a design language. The stripes and beige look were part of it.

No. Beige had nothing to do with Snow White.
The Apple IIc was white, and it used the Snow White design elements.
Started out as off-white (which they called "Fog") and then later evolved to the "Platinum" color, of the IIgs and Macs of that era.
From the Wikipedia entry on Snow White:
Originally Posted by Wikipedia
Nevertheless, Esslinger who detested the original Apple beige-color, insisted all Snow White-styled products use the same off-white color as the IIc.
Emphasis mine. Beige was not part of Snow White. Never was.

93. You've gotten up at 5am, taken public transit at an obscenely early hour and waited for three hours to be one of the first people to walk into a new apple retail store.
94. You've flown cross-country, gone to Macworld, spent one night in SF and then flown back home - just because you could and you wanted to see what a real Macworld (not the dinky ones in Boston) was like.
Yes, and yes, I've done both of these things.

95. Used ResEdit to modify the Mac interface (Startup Screen, Apple menu logo, etc.)
96. Snagged a bunch of free posters from a MacWorld event only to sell them online for $$$. (I still have a couple of 1984 - 2004 Anniversary posters).

97. You jab F9, F10 or F11 on your PC at work, getting increasingly frustrated that nothing is happening, only to remember after thirty seconds of increasingly aggressive button-pushing that you’re on a PC. ✔
98. Criticism of the iMac G4 and/or G4 Cube puts you into an almost violent/psychotic rage. ✔
99. You find yourself being irresistibly drawn to the Key Lime clamshell iBook, Blue Dalmatian iMac and/or Flower Power iMac. ✔
100. Get irrationally excited by the release of a point System Update by Apple and email every Mac user you know advising them to upgrade immediately. ✔

Screw it, let's break the 100!
101. Until you, on a Macintosh forum, have told about a strange place you have had sex.
102. You have owned a Mac clone.
