Chris Shaw suggested adding a newuser subgroup.  I like this idea and
send him a private note in favor, but it seems that the topics like color
are among of those which we can hash again and again (even if you do go
to the library).  [Been going on over a hundred years.]

Micheal Cranford wrote some pretty good points.  I also suggest a
Scientific American article of Feb. or March 1987 on color vision, I
can't remember which, but it was shortly after our meeting on color.
I also suggest if you have not had a check up (physical), ask to take a
color blindness test and ask yourself, if you are not color blind, what
a color blind person might see.  Think about what they are trying to
discriminate in each of these tests [color wheels are too much of a
continum].

Edwin Land [Polaroid Corp.] is another character who has interesting ideas
[for a person not trained in physicological psych] about color.

Lastly, we are planning a Fall meeting on the limits of human
perception.  Should be a fun meeting.
