The true measure of your worth: do you prefer amber, green, or true B&W?

    My terminal used to be set up such that local terminal usage was green & black and remote was amber.

    So, that was a PC, or a color terminal? Either way, you're probably a young old fart.

    It was a color terminal starting with my upgrade from Mac OS 9 to Mac OS 10 (and Fedora around the same time). If I recall correctly my Claris works terminal was black on white in the 90s when I was in Usenet (alt.rec.scouting, baby (and others))

    But I kept it that way because of my history growing up with Apple IIs (and an old interface to airline booking software in the early 2000s as well.

    Born in 80.
