| My sister bought a PC, just because it was pink! Macs aren't for everyone, no doubt, so when my sister -- after planning to buy a MacBook for many months -- announced she was buying a Dell laptop I was mildly irritated/disappointed but nothing much. Until, that is, she revealed her reason for choosing a Dell...simply because it came in pink!! of all the freakin' reasons! I suppose even spyware seems cute when it's in a shiny pink wrapper?  |

| Maybe the nice shade of red from the RSOD in Vista would contrast well with the pink of her Dell laptop.  I wouldn't have felt so bad if it was one of the Ubuntu models, but ah well. Live and learn I guess. Incidentally when my sister was looking for a laptop, she got a refurbished iBook G4 14" and has been happy with it ever since.  Maybe you should have told her about Colorware and their color modifications to the Macbooks? They can come in pink too!

| I think it's a pity Apple doesn't make colorful computers anymore. White is the new beige. (I know the iMacs aren't white anymore, but gray is just the new...gray.) The idea of someone buying a Dell for style is a little disturbing.
