Hello gang,

remember my earlier gripe about how some people do human factors engineering?
Here is an example of why I have this gripe. Somebody wanted opinions
on screen colours. He got a lot of opinions. But some of the people posting
the opinions had a decidedly "I know that this is the best screen for
all mankind and here is why" tone. This is what I find distressing. All
of the people with contrary opinions are about to get screwed if the 
person with "the perfect terminal" ever gets it made the industry standard.
Look at the vt100 if you want to see an industry standard that upsets
many people (including me) when I have to use one.
Yet some people find them the best in the world.
