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.

And I heard you could never tell exactly how many sheep you had, because when you let them out of the pen one at a time to count them, you could not remember how many times you said "Hello, Dear."

Okay, everyone, let's play nice now.
And shouldn't that be "Hello, Dolly?"

Lord Faldage, peace be unto you.Yart me no Yarts. Don't color it beige if you don't like the color. I'm not fond of it either. So, RC, has your color problem gone away?

RC, has your color problem gone away?Yep - it seems it was only momentary. Trouble is, I can't remember just what I was on at the time, so I can't repeat the experiment. Very unsound, scientifically speaking. Never mind, Dr Bill - it has given you a golden opportunity to make sheep jokes at Milord faLdage's expense. but what the hell, archie - he can afford it!

And we all know how badly I need sheep jokes being made at my expense. Besides, with all that income from my sheep guano business, I can afford it.
