I'm just now getting this far down in my back messages and have read 58
messages in the thread on Virtuosity. One comment struck me: you did the
holographic head with a box of Crayolas? I'd like more info on this: was it
the CGA box (16 crayons) or the bigger EGA box (64 crayons) with the built-in
sharpening hardware? <g,d,rlh>

ha ha! Yes, it was actually the former CGA box, selected from a pallette of
16.7million – all shades of green. Thanks for asking <g>.

Thanks, guys. Actually, I can't take credit for that joke. It was from an
ad in computer magazines LONG ago in the days when EGA was new (I think that
was in the Precambrian period…). The ad showed a box of 16 Crayolas spilled
open with several of the crayons broken and all significantly worn, and a shiny
new box of 64 Crayolas (with sharpener in the box) with the top flipped open to
show that all the crayons are brand spanking new. The slogan: "Remember the
FIRST time you upgraded your graphics hardware?"
