Green means charged, Amber Charging
external being the battery itself? that does not mean that it has a completely full charge, just most of the way there

oh alright thanks, I just got my ibook like 30 minutes ago and was suprised that it came with a almost fully charged battery.

they do come with as close to a full charge as possible, but it definitely wont be at max when you get it
If you have it on, or asleep I have found that it will get to 99% and stay amber for like another 30 minutes afterward before it thinks its fully charged. So if its asleep the best thing to do is ignore the amber light and just look at the percent in the corner of the screen.
I remember when I first charged my iBook as well. It did seem to take forever, but oh was it worth it!!!

apple should make a bigger color distinction (like green when charging/blue when charged) for colorblind people
My dad is color blind and when we painted a line on the grass, he couldn't tell the difference between the orange line and the green grass. Just for info.

It's different for all people. Really there is no set color blindness. Some people can't tell the difference between red and green(which is bad for stop lights) and others like your dad can't do other colors. It all depends on genetics. And also, it is far mor likely to be color blind if you are a guy. Its something like 75% of color blind people are men. It all has to do with those damn Y chromosomes.
