    Yeah, that's what I thought back in 1996 when I bought a new Honda Accord for $4k off sticker...because it was Eucalyptus Green with matching gray-green interior...I remember feeling nauseous on the way home from the dealership! And it only got worse living with it for almost three years.

    I got rear-ended by a utility truck and forced off the road and into a tree causing both airbags to deploy...and even as I was hit in the face with an airbag (which are NOT nearly as soft as they look), all I could think was "Yes, I'm finally rid of it!!!" =)

    But a laptop is quite a different matter....and Neon Red isn't freakin' Eucalyptus Green, either! :rolleyes:
