Actually, what amazes me about this is that people who are visually oriented
enough to think iMac's are cool, would be so bland as to think that all
their peripherals should match the iMac color of their choice. We've got
about a dozen iMacs around the office and we mix-and-match mice and
keyboards...it's much cooler.
