No, but those corners can hurt your cornea.

Actually this looks more ergonomic than today's wrist cutting, cheese grating McBooks.

It's a great find. I love vintage macs. I am looking for a LC 475 at the moment.

Nice find. Great as a piece of curiosity and moreover, a working (albeit dated) machine.

Good find! Not sure what it's worth but there's something kind of fun about picking up these old machines, that used to sell for thousands of dollars back in the day, for pocket change.. recently scored a G4 Cube complete with monitor at work to go with a G5 PowerMac.
