So... Let's get this straight... If someone has been on a forum longer, they have better taste? If someone likes the brushed metal look, they have taste? If someone hates the brushed metal look, they don't have taste?

Right...

This is the point. If we want to buy Apple stuff (save the iPod mini), we're forced to go with whatever colour gets signed off by the powers that be. Why is that? Would it be too much of a stretch for Apple to come out with more than one colour or more than one design? Not everyone dislikes silver. Not everyone likes silver.

Eww yuk. That's gonna look like a plank of wood with some silver spray paint on it. Real classy like.

Hmmm... So... If I like the only colour Apple do, I'm creatively sound. If I hate the only colour Apple do I'm creatively devoid?

Apple's lastest silver kick just really doesn't go with white portuguese marble and gold. Really, it doesn't.

I've got great taste thanks. And a fantastic personality. And I don't hit my sister.

You'll notice that I haven't said anything about anyone else being devoid of taste because they like silver - I simply stated that I hate it. Yet you, Chick, with the fantastic personality, somehow think I've said that I've "got the best taste in the World". Learn to read.




I'm wondering how many of you who jumped on my own personal preference statement with the "if you don't like silver you're completely devoid of taste" are owned by Apple's corporate design machine. And how many of you think black leather is OK in a Ferrari.
