I'm not a Mac user yet, but I have heard of Aqua and have no idea what it is. Could someone please explain? 😕

macs run an operating system called OSX. the colors and interface is called "aqua". its basically a theme with the blue background and three (RGB) dots in the corners of the windows.

hope this helps.

If you are not a MAC user, how have you collected fifty-some posts on Macrumors? PC vs. MAC flame-wars? 😉 .

Aqua is the interface of OSX (lickable buttons, etc.). It can be set to blue or graphite in the System prefs.

I've done my research. I do want to get an iMac, very soon.

I'm surprised to see that RGB in this case is Red-Green-Yellow (or Red-Yellow-Green in order). Maybe that's the C- part of it all.

Perhaps, if Chris were to do it like "-C" instead of "C-", people wouldn't continue to comment about a grade...
