Is it something I've done?
Something I've said?
Is what my Dad told me about eyesight correct after all?

the colours of the board have changed on my screen: instead of the old two tones of grey, I now have a light, creamy beige and a soft, sagey green.

Quite pleasant, in fact, but I would have liked some warning, if it is a global change, or else I want to know how you select the background colours, if there is a way.

Dear RC: Sounds like your monitor is trying to tell you something. Like it might go on strike.

Mayhap Anu has been experimenting with different color combos and you just happened to see it.

Hey! Wait a minute! I thought you were a guy! You're not supposed to be able to distinguish colors at that level of sophistication! Just knowing the word beige is bad enough, but creamy? sagey?

C'mon, Rhuby!

Dear Faldage: The females talk about colors, but a lot of their definitions are daffy. What a wide range of shades I have seen called beige! And just about nobody remembers it originally meant the color of undyed wool. A very large percentage of computers and monitors are housed in "beige" plastic. And all "sage" means to me is a kind of cheese I don't enjoy. As lord of the manor extorting sheep excrement from the peasants, you ought to have seen a lot of undyed wool.

And you were to busy indulging in le droit du seigneur to notice the color of the sheep.
