Hello Mike - 

CA>> I switched to a greenscreen for my first Intel hardware
CA>> computer (an AT&T 6300). I've always felt the greenscreen
CA>> was easier on my eyes than any of the others have been
CA>> since. 

MR> Did you ever hear of the "pink effect"? Apparently when one
MR> views a green text monitor for a long period of time and
MR> then viewing white letters on a black background, these
MR> seem to have a pinkish hue. 

Not that I recall, no. 

MR> I think I noticed the effect when switching from a
MR> "Canadian" Tandy Model-IV to an IBM-PC with a paper white
MR> mono. I emphasized "Canadian" because the early USA
MR> versions had white text displays not green. 

Understood. Just before the Mod4s were discontinued users were
having them retro-fit with amber screens as well. :-)
