I was wondering what everybody was talking about, I hadn’t seen any change until I just now rebooted my machine. If it _is_ a wave spreading across the country, it just came back up like a bad tamale. I can dig it. ---

On my machine/monitor, it shows up blue and yellow. Yanked it up in my handy Paint Shop Pro and it’s as blue as blue can be, the html code is: #330099 – just to add a pointles fact. ---

We’ve been running the degaussing rings on the ship today and that always affects my monitor. The logo is in technicolor here. It starts with a purple T on a kelly green background, the R in “straight” is khaki on an aqua background, the last T is orange on a dark blue background, and the E in “dope” is neon yelow on a bright blue backround. I should really stay away from the brown acid… * * * Yer bud, da chief ---

I’ve already said this on two other threads: Orange and purple do not go well together. It’s making me sick, quite literally. I might actually start avoiding the SD. * * * [Cessandra](http://www.angelfire.com/tx3/miscjunk/profile.html) I would’ve gotten away with it, too, if it weren’t for those meddling kids! ---

I actually really like it (ducks). For some the old one sort of bothered me, although I can’t explain why, so I noticed the change right away. Although it reminds me vaguely of the UW Huskies, and I’m down here with the Ducks, so… Same as the Big 10/ UM thing, I s’pose. ---

I am obviously NOT the most observant poster in this little group. For all I know, the colors have been blue and gold for months. I really never paid that much attention. They look fine to me. _:shrugs:_ I guess I’d pay attention if the logo was dripping guano or something…but possibly not. I WOULD notice if they were crimson and white, however! 😃 ---
