I just got my brochure for the new Indigo 2. It looks like a great machine. Faster, better graphics (like EXTREME graphics dude!) etc.,etc. I only have one question.... How come the new INDIGO is GREEN????? Okay, you can argue that it's sort of an Aquamarine colour, greeny blue or bluey green, but Indigo (at least the last time I looked at mine) is purple! I'm very dissapointed. Are you guys to lazy to come up with a new catchy name? Did you run out of purple plastic? Is Aquaman the new C.E.O.???? Enquiring minds want to know! I guess I'll call it the green machine. andrew .................................................................

Somebody from Deutschland (sorry: I forgot your name!) already
called it GREENIE about one month ago. I suggest that we refuse
the uncreative official "Indigo2" and call it, briefly, "the Greenie".

I hate to point this out, but the truth is, we had ya going the whole time. Indigo is in fact a color of blue, not purple. in.di.go \'in-di-.go-\ n or indigos or indigoes [It dial., fr.
