Could you define what you mea

Could you define what you mean by 'give us color and take it away'?

G3 iMacs vs. Intel iMacs? Apple IIgs screens compared to Macintosh screens? Perhaps their rainbow logo contrasted against the newer monocoloured logo?

Was it just a sales gimmick or what?

Of course not. There's ample scientific documentation of the fact that molding blue dots or flowers into a computer case increases performance at *least* 20%

*snirk* Of course it was a gimmick. People like gimmicks. People pay big money for things they don't need if they're sufficiently gimmicky. And gimmicks require much less R&D then actual innovation.

Now brushed aluminum and black *everything* is their gimmick. I can't complain. I miss the 1970's as much as anybody.
