i heard that beige was boring. white is close to beige, and that is the color of everything! anyone think we'll see iMac or eMac in anything but snow? my girlfriend wants an eMac but won't buy one unless she can get it in pink or green. hah. women!
hahah. yeah covering with the girlfriend. i actually am ordering my first ever mac tonight. i'm getting a powermac 800 w/256 ram, dvd-cdrw drive radeon dual video 40gb. here is the free stuff i get:
5 GB firefly drive
hp 920c printer
hp 315xi digital camera (ok not free, but $100 off, making it $99)
$125 instant rebate
i was going to wait until mwny, but i thought the deals seemed pretty sweet.
i'm also buying a 17" crt graphite studio from macresq
ANYHOW, back to the point...my girlfriend wants a colored eMac!
I want to paint a new eMac black. matte black. Perhaps jet black. Maybe even black with paint that's transparent in roomlight, but glows green in UV or sunlight
If she was more concerned about appearances than outright performance (although a 400MHz G3 is still pretty nice, IMO), she would probably be able to find a lime or strawberry iMac DV for really cheap these days.
It'll have USB, Firewire, Ethernet, modem, slot-loading CD-ROM/DVD, OS X capable, etc. And if she's not a graphics person or otherwise really pushing the power and all, I'm sure the 400MHz G3 would be fine. My friend has my tangerine iMac DV and she writes, uses iTunes, Microsoft Office v.X, Explorer, etc. (in other words, basic everyday non-graphics usage) and she LOVES it.
Those lime iMac DV models from a couple of years ago were very nice looking. Were I not such an orange freak, that would've been my choice of color.
Couldn't find an strawberry DV iMacs, but there were a couple of older (333MHz) tray-loading models. Do a search at eBay for "strawberry iMac" or "pink iMac".

As for the eMac, well, you can always tell her to get some nail polish and have fun with it.
