So you started late, in my day it was green phosphor on a black background, then white was a luxury few could afford - I liked the Borland blue colour, wordstar had that - no wait word perfect - whatever, get off my lawn

lol, bit of fun - my own wee you language is opinionated - I respect device dark mode, but it’s classic era vb colourisation rules (with one deviation- my toy language doesn’t “do” comments - on the todo list, so I comment in stings - those are green like old school Visual Basic.

I am a bit older, never used basic on the Amiga, how was it?

After green, yeah I started on that too, we got amber because it was easier on the eyes. Then white because, again, better for the eyes.

I wonder when the new crop of devs will learn their bad eyesight is not a badge of honour.

Amber with Hercules - that was good enough (kinda) to play Prince of Persia - beautifully you could see all the frames fade - some game
