It's been almost eight years since Steve Jobs unwrapped the original Bondi blue iMac - and since 2002, all of Apple's computers have been either white or metallic. Apple's color experiments came to an end with the quickly eliminated "Flower Power" and "Blue Dalmatian" models of the iMac. One hitch for Apple: Stocking multiple colors means producing and tracking more models, a logistical feat Apple hasn't grappled with in years. Additionally, some retailers might refuse to stock more than one color, as Best Buy did in 1999, and betting wrong on a color could mean costly inventory pile-ups at Apple's own chain of retail stores.Wed, 12 Apr 2006 16:14:00 EDThttp://money.cnn.com/2006/03/30/technology/vonage/index.htmhttp://money.cnn.com/2006/03/30/technology/vonage/index.htmNEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) - Woo hoo!
