But no one can beat OTS's black/green combo ... you can't get any greener than this

Bish, your avatar has a baboon head.

I was refering to the signatures.
Nova's is green, mine is green, ion's is green.
The site is green.
Posted by: Ion Silverbolt
Green blends with the site better. I tried blue but it clashes..hehe
I think we should have a rotating color scheme. Every month, OTS is a different color.  Except white. No white or pink.

Heheh Ion, easier said than done 
*imagines having to re-do graphics with different color schemes ... runs away screaming...*

could do it the cheap way but yeah it would still be horrifying.

Is extremely underrated. I wonder how grey feels about all the attention going to green.
Posted by: Bishop
that's because gray had it's day.

Green and black is indeed a classic computer-related color combo. Who can forget those softly glowing green-on-black monochrome monitors? Worked well as a nightlight for me!
Much more soothing than the horrid orange-on-black of SOME monochrome monitors...
Then again, the cyan-yellow-magenta-teal-on-black monitors were quite nice as well... Especially when playing BBS games like Trade Wars, or when connected to MUDs.

<-----had one of them horrible orange on black 9" monitors with my first computer. You must remember cassette tape drives then.
Posted by: Shalome
Nope, sorry, Chako.. I don't remember cassette tape drives. My first computer used 5.25 floppies and had a 9-inch (if that big) orange-on-black screen that was built into the box. The keyboard folded down and detached from the box, too -- it was attached by something that looked like curly phone cord.
At the time, it was the coolest thing I'd ever seen.
My second computer was an Apple IIc, which got me hooked on the lovely green-on-black monitor scheme. Oh yeah, and it had a joystick, too.

My comp arch class is funded by clk (Computers for lousiana kids, we recycle old comps to keep them out of the trash). Hehe I seen 11 comps in the class with tape drives, rebuilt one with a tape drive in it. We rebuild old comps to put in classes all over the parish. Gooing to the warehouse tomarrow, gonna have a field day. I place the size of a football field, with nothing but OLD comps parts!!!!! A computer candy store! hehe. I'll see if i can find a camera and take some pics of some of the really old stuff they got thier.
LOL when we get any ram that is higher then 16 megs from the ware house, we frame it! The largest harddrive we had in thier was a 2 gig. The comp I rebuilt today only had 740 MB HD. 8MB RAM. 100mhz proc.
Posted by: DemonBob
Hehe just got back from the warehouse.
Everyone who went to help out got a free laptop. Although none of them were problay over 100Mhz but what thehey! FREE
Mine is an old 486/25 hhee monocrome. But it is running win 95 on it, came with a nice case also. Went through a stack of 100. Ten had to find power adaper for it. Went through a box of 1000 of them LOL. N E Way, we brought back about 11 MMX systems, 20 486 systems. 4 21inch monitors 36 15-16 inch monitors, 20 or so network cards. a dozen hubs. And a bunch of other little goodies (includeing about 30 licenese to win 95). Some scuzzie cards. 
This place was the size of 4 football fields. And everything was everywhere. So we were climing over pallets of system units and monitors to get to sometihng that looked good. IT WAS HEAVEN hehe. Saw old mainframes.....some 10' floppy drives.....A whole hidden box of 64 meg RAM LOL. 486 and MMX Montherboards. That were still in the orignal box it came in. UNTUCHED!
It was ablast, we spent 4 hours thier. We had about 20 of us altogether. And we all had fun.
Posted by: redwench
sounds like the place really needs to be cleaned out. not very efficient to keep things that arent used anymore. just means you cant find the stuff that can be used.10 years old should be the limit.
