Hmmm wonder if you could then take something like TiPaint and repaint it to match a Tibook... now that would be cool. WTF were they thinking with this "snow" idea. The graphite wasn't completely hideous but it would have been cooler with a white apple that lit up like the tibooks when the thing was on
