>I really liked that series of Macs a few years ago that came in orange, green, blue, and one or two other colors. (Purple?) Given what I do for a living it would be hard to justify buying a Mac but I wanted one. Apple may make expensive products but no one can say they don't have style.

Apple is the honorable exception to this. They are pretty much the only manufacturer who consistently make machines which look nice.

My wife painted some nice flowers on the side of my computer. It finally looks good.
