wait a cotton picking minute...isn't there a reference
in "Revolution in the Valley" to a game written by
Bill Gates with a big BROWN donkey??? I don't own the
book, obviously stating from memory. Maybe someone can
confirm or deny.

My bet, at the time, it was popular to display
little "landscapes" as
part of system demos. Lower third of the screen
green (for grass)
upper two thirds blue (for sky) some kind of small
building represented
in red (for bricks) and... a tree. You need brown
for the trunk.
