Jacob, I think your 'glassiness' is understated and fine. I never meant the extreme of the original colored iMac look. I think it adds a nice 3-D look especially in the smaller sizes and is under-stated enough to fit the Apple look of today with a little of a yellow and blue color Apple doesn't use. Could it be turned down a bit? Yeah I suppose. But there is a time to tweak and a time to move on when the diminishing returns of tweaking are vanishingly small and we can ignore subsequent terms in the series (flash-back to advanced engineering math ;-). Guess what time I think it is IMHO? Daniel
