I have a very basic question:

Why doesn't dell offer colored boxes?

I am obviously aware that any diversion from the tried-and-true beige (which is truly, hideously ugly, in this humble designer's opinion)would result in some short-term cost increases. But how hard could it be to ramp up three or four colors?

Imagine getting the following choices for your box:

Cappuccino
Teal
Rust
Loden green
Slate
Classic navy

Is there anyone at all who doubts that sales would explode? *Especially* in light of first-time buyers. Seasoned vets like most SI users probably don't care too much, but I can assure you that youngsters and nontechies find the idea enormously appealing.

Do we have a pipeline directly into Dell mgmt? I think that Dell could move extremely quickly on this, and start a wonderful trend.

Dammit, I want a burnt sienna Dell!
