White. I'm a relative newcomer to Macs (well just over two years
thinking about it but that is still very recent compared to some of you
guys!).

I was young, free and single in those days so my gadget budget was a bit
higher. I quite liked the 5 and 5mx (other than the screen clarity) but
never got into the Revo. The netBook was lovely but too big so I
switched to Palms (Vx to T3 with several in-between) but for the last
sixteen months or so (a longevity record for me!) I've been using an
iPAQ 2210 which is rather lovely and suits my needs almost perfectly.
I'd love to see a new Psion (I still don't think that their Agenda
application is beaten by either Palm or Windows Mobile) but I doubt that
it would be Mac-compatible anyway.

Fortunately, my latest 'fix' is digital photography for which my Mac is
very well suited. I've retired my Fuji Finepix 6800 and just bought a
Nikon D50 which is lovely. It is my first ever DSLR (or SLR come to
that) and I'm having a great time with it.
