Do not blame the computer companies, blame the
customers. Beige and
gray were the colors they wanted.
When companies buy, someone will have to approve (that is, provide the
money). That's often the company's own beancounters.. Engineer:
"We'll need this particular computer. This here model will do."
Beancounter (looking in sales brochure): "Purple? We don't do that
kind of thing here. This other model will do, surely" (points to beige
version).
