"Any customer can have a car painted any colour that he wants so long as it is black"  Henry Ford at the beginning of the 20th cetury

Pink! It's got to be pink pink pink!

For years computers were pale cream and dirty off white boxes which you hid in a cupboard in the corner. It alwasy seemed so depressing when you spent so much time themeing your desktop to look good that the outside was as stylish as your white-good fridge. When I made my desktop I was keep to find a case and monitor which would look good in the corner of my room. I think I succeeded although others are not so sure - my case is black with blue led strip lights and cut out windows in the side so you can see the insides in a mixture of blue, red and green light. 

At last I can get a laptop to match!

I have always liked sony vaios. My brother had one when he went to University and I was always jealous of how stylish it looked in slick metalic pale purple. I have been using an F series Sony Vaio intermittently resently and it's good as long as I don't have to use windows. The keyboard is slick with a nice rebound action and the screen is big and clear. In general it is a bit big for me at 19 inches as something that large I don't really find portable when I have my pda and folding keyboard which fit in my hand bag. However, I'm tempted back into the laptop market by the new sony viao C series and its multicoloured cases! Pink, green, orange ... it's just a shame there isn't one in purple. Who wants to join my petitian for purple vaios and ipods? Until I saw the C series I was totally set on mac's being the only stylish laptops (no not those horrible orange/blue/green/pink and white imacs!) with the state of the art polished metal power books. But the days of "stylish" grey/silver laptops are over as computers-as-a-fashion-accessory finally takes off.
