To follow the thread here...One of my favorite mac websites is www.AppleTurns.com. Today, the humor turned toward the animal pattern of the Roman numeral X for Jaguar and the author of the site mused that knowing Apple, once they go down that road (of design mania), can a zebra-striped FP iMac be far behind? I too miss the audacity of Apple's use of color. This from someone who just bought a Key Lime iBook to sit next to his Flower Power iMac :) But really, the 17" imac is really hard to resist. I wonder if they'll slowly move toward color for them once the design and features aren't as fresh anymore. I hope so. Donald On Thursday, July 18, 2002, at 08:56 PM, Amber wrote:
