The Real Computer
The computer that appears in Labor Dabor appears to be a Slot-Loading Tangerine iMac DV running Mac OS 9. The first slot-loading iMacs were released in the fall of 1999 and were offered in six colors, including Tangerine.
The logo on Tangerine Dreams (the same logo as on the Tandy 400)—a rainbow-colored star with a bite taken out of its side—is a play on the old Apple logo, a rainbow apple with a bite missing.

New Computer
- Main article: The Cheat's iMac (2006)
In the email redesign, The Cheat was shown designing a new No Loafing Sign graphic with a new 5th Generation iMac (as of the making of this email, 5th Generation iMacs are sold with Intel Core Duo Processors).
The new computer features an Apple wireless mouse, as Strong Bad tells The Cheat to "quit rubbin' that plastic bar of soap on the desk.". Also because it has a flat panel display, Strong Bad also criticizes it for not being able to print, because "Somebody sliced off the back of [The Cheat's] monitor." The new computer also features an integrated iSight webcam.
