Paula: The original iBook was "Blueberry"/Tangerine, though its blue is way more intense and rich than the Bluebuerry iMacs that came out after the prototype iMac, the Bondi. (I've never actually seen a Blueberry iMac in person, but say this based on photos, which means I could wrong. The Blueberry imac is translucent, so the color of the Blueberry iBook seems deeper to me...I have a Blueberry iBook). The naming of the Bondi falls in line with the naming of my favorite PowerBook, the Pismo (Pismo Beach). Thanks, Donald -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
