It is actually greyer than the picture makes it out to be. Not being familiar with the Atari you mention I can't say if it compares, but I would say it is a good shade darker than it looks. It is probably close to the "platinum" window background color of MacOS 8 and 9 (if that is something you are familiar with). It is also WELL used, and the receptionist is was in front of cleaned it daily with rubbing alcohol and lysol for about 10 years before I found out... I am sure that lightened the color quiet a bit (although, it could have been worse, it took me a while to track down why one booth's phone kept shorting out... till I caught one of the interviewers pouring water on top of it to clean it before they started their shift!). -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>
