Its BLUE for CHRISSAKES!! Sticks out like a sore thumb on the desktop. If it were platinum, or even biege, to match the other equipment, I would be much happier. Other than that, its a cool design. Im esp. happy then got it to do Soft eject like a real Mac device. I was dancing about the room when I saw that. Anybody have any luck painting them to match their mac? Disks can be Blue, but not their drives! Paul, Color Blind for people, but not for periphials :^)
