VMS books were orange, as I recall!?
Or maybe you are thinking of the convergence concurrence interface facility
that mapped the red book to the yellow book. Red and yellow make orange. On
the other hand, with electronic colors, we only have RGB, so who knows how
you make orange in our industry?
By the way, did you know that the first dictionary of the English Language,
developed by Samuel Johnson and printed in 1755, defined network. The
definition was:
"Any thing reticulated, or decussated, at equal distances, with interstices
between the intersections."
Forgot to use decaf today. The filters won't let this through anyway,
probably. ;-)
