Apple consumers are famously style-minded and will often make a purchase decision based on a computer's color rather than its storage capacity.

Hm? Which one would you take: A fugly as hell computer with a 120GB harddisk or the same computer, a lot better looking, but only 80GB. Same price. I would go with the good looking one.

Can't get 'em for the same price, even with a 50% larger capacity. That's the point! A PC is a tool not a piece of sculpture. Putting neon lights in 'em, and painting them all sorts of fancy colors is pretty damn twisted to me. I don't blame manufacturers for doing it, because it seems there's a market for this crap, but I do blame certain consumers for creating this market in the first place. $100.00 for tennis shoes?

What kinda hobbies do you have? If people like STYLE, let them be. Don't pick on them cuz they like to pay $100.00 for shoes.

They all suck IMO but I'm not huge on shoes so get them if you like them.

I got something like this in brown.
