ThinkPad to come in many colors

Worried that members of the fairer sex aren't buying ThinkPads (like the T41, pictured
at right) because they only come in one color — black — IBM is going to start selling laptops in a whole
range of colors beginning later this year. (It only took them six years longer to figure this out than it
took Apple.) We're not exactly complaining, since design is important, it's just that we find
it hilarious when manufacturers think that the only thing they need to do to make gadgets appeal to
women is to build them in different colors, rather than bother to figure out what features they might
be looking for.
