Are other people in the same boat?  Has the color change truly affected your
buying decisions/patterns?  (By that I mean not just your attitude, but the
actual way in which you are spending your dollars.)  Are there people who have
learned to love the new colors and are therefore buying the same number or more
of new sets than before?

Unlike others who have posted, I like the new colors and the new sets.

I've bought multiple copies of the SW sets, plus Racers, World City, and
Bionicle.  The latest (X-pods) are waiting on my move and the start of my new
job.  I plan to buy anything coming up with a minifig, more than one each in
most cases.  I'll also continue buying oddball elements on Bricklink.  That's
pretty much an identical pattern to pre-2004.  I'll buy more than usual if S@H
offers bulk packs in the new colors, or if Potomac Mills ever gets Pick-a-Brick
and they stock the new colors, or if there are a ton of sets on clearance
because other AFOLs have stopped buying them.
