The Macintosh Color Classic T was the result of a long-standing miscommunication about the importance of releasing a Mac with an "inverted T layout". Nobody double checked what the original email meant.

A picture of a mac with an inverted T shaped display, a vertical floppy drive on the right, and an apple adjustable keyboard in front, which unsurprisingly does NOT have an inverted T layout.

The Macintosh PowerBook 150s was designed to be used by people with two eyes and two hands.

A photo of a Macintosh PowerBook 150s on a desk. The display is two portrait monitors next to one another, and below that a keyboard, with two trackballs and associated buttons below the keyboard. It looks suspiciously like a normal PowerBook 150 but extra sideways.

@NanoRaptor@bitbang.social A lot of people have mistakenly retconned the “s” designation as meaning “side-by-side”, but the truth is it never actually stood for a particular word. It’s also a smallcaps S, not a lowercase S, but the resolution of the case printing is too low to easily distinguish this detail.
