Hi Steve, Re "If you believe this garbage I'll paint..." Actually, I have been amazed by the amount of press these new colored iMacs have gotten. I think it is hysterical that Apple releases a whole bunch of new and significant advances and features and the one thing that all the press picked up on, and featured in most major newspapers today, is that the iMacs are now available in a bunch of colors. Now you have an analyst speculating that CPQ and HP may follow suit. Personally, I don't understand all the hoopla around the various colors of the computers and the need for individualized aesthetic design decisions, but I am obviously in the minority. Heck, I thought their biggest announcement was going to be a $50 software item which will allow you to play almost all Sony Playstation games on a Mac. (My kids could care less, but for me it is a way I can justify getting Playstation games fo me, oops, I mean the family. But that didn't even get mentioned in most article. BTW, my daughters like the grape color iMacs the best, but I am more partial to the tangerine color, while my wife likes the blueberry.
