The difference between a computer and a fridge is that you want to keep a fridge for 20 years or more if you can, so you want something that trancends pop culture. Therefore -- beige, white, grey.

Since home electronics, *especially* computers, are essentially disposable items (2-4 years use for a PC or Mac is average), it's safe and fun to play with colour and fashion.

I wouldn't want to look at a blueberry iMac for 20 years, but 3... yeah, that's okay with me!
