White ware is a common term in the English trade for kitchen domestic appliances, black (or sometimes grey) ware is also used for non kitchen electrical goods. I don't know if beige ware was adopted as a generic term for computer hardware (I doubt it.). Also interesting is the occasional use of the term wetware to describe computer programmers or operators (those brains contain wet blood).
There's a zoo that has a pack of wolves. The leader of the pack is called Were (as in werewolf) but when I heard this I thought that the leader should be called Aware, the second in command Beware, the least furious software, the most furious hardware. Any further suggestions?
