Our old titanium laptop is sort of flaking off a bit where you put your hands while you type. Plus it gets so danged hot, you could fry an egg on it! Sound advice for us all: let's keep the wine away from the computers! EDITED TO ADD that the laptop is aluminum, not titanium, because titanium was too flexible.

And you even finally have that in writing! But I don't know about "more" than the white because I am constantly reading the paper and I have sticky children (not that they usually go anywhere near it...). And I bet, though I would not try this, that black is less prone to red wine stains. OK, I admit that black does pick up fingerprints! And you even finally have that in writing!

Plus, the power supplies don't match, which is just wrong. The black ones *do* pick up more fingerprints. Plus, the power supplies don’t match, which is just wrong.

Yeah, I didn't have a choice with my keyboard (it's ooooold, almost as old as Gus!) but I'd've picked black. The white keys get a little grungy too. In my weak moments I want to pop them all off and scrub them in a tub of soapy water. But I have work to do! Har, I am so psychic!

The cleaning tip is helpful too. I got the black one even though someone told me it showed more fingerprints.
