Somewhere I have a copy of a study that proves amber is the easiest on the
eyes. Now if Tramiel had adopted that instead of green maybe HE would be king
of the world instead of Gates. I suspect however that "Big Blue" had long
before planted a subliminal message in our collective minds which negated all
this. They just forgot to update in regard to Gates.
