- I'm still waiting for a chance to buy a stereo that's some color OTHER
- than "contemporary black", and I'm hoping that beige is the rage. I've
- seen digital audio tape machines in PC-beige, and beige sure beats my
- current stereo stuff which is all black with black buttons labeled
- in dark grey. Can't you just picture an all black PC keyboard with the
- black keys labeled with black letters? Shades (!) of the all black spaceship
- in the Hitchhiker's Guide.
-
- Anyway.
-
- Blue Dolphin Computers was selling all black machines, at a premium price
- compared with the beige ones. But I think they went out of business.
- Maybe it was related. I hope so.
