My recollection is that the 2260 and every monochrome 3270 before the 3290 was green. >> Part of SHARE and IT in general is Human Factors. Ergonomics, color, tilt, tactile feel, neutral hand and eye position, abbreviated command structure are analyzed for cause and effect. For many years IBM had a Human factors lab in Almaden, but don't know if they still do. PARC and Alan Kay analyzed in detail the 'modern office' and laid the ground work for much how we work today. Joan Winters from SLAC head the Human Factors projects at SHARE for many years and usually took home the prize for best session. IIRC the green screen was for IBM monitors. Other vendors, Memorex, GRID, and a few others extended the research into more efficient phosphors(persistence) and had other colors available. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
