In (URL) Jake mentioned that some colours had been "tweaked", but he did not supply a complete list. Of course, I know about the "new grey" issue, and that change is obvious, but what about other possible colour changes? I bought two red Xpods, and (...) (20 years ago, 15-May-04, to lugnet.color)

Well, sure, others may not need such a discount for major purchases. But {for me}, it's got to be 75% off before I buy my "normal" amount. Lar - get some sleep, or read more carefully. You are glossing over posts and missing key points (nowhere did (...) (20 years ago, 14-May-04, to lugnet.color)
