When the Apple][ first appeared, it was one of the first affordable computers
with support for color.  For a long time, one of the most common problems
dealt with by Customer Support was "my Apple][ doesn't output color!"

After a while, the time spent dealing with this problem was drastically reduced
by the support person asking "Do you have a color TV?"  (The most typical
response being "Why?  Does it make a difference?"

I wish I were joking, btw, but I'm not.
