Black, White and Green

Someone asked me "Why is your screen Black??"

Working on these same black screens for almost about 10 months now I wondered if even I knew the answer. "After all why was the screen black". Fine that this came out when there were no coloured screens but its been almost 20 years of coloured screens and still they are nothing but dull and black.

I would have answered it well. Knowing that I was using an old mainframe emulator on my PC could have answered him the same. But even knew that wasn’t the real answer to that question. I really didn't know the answer, using the emulator I could have changed the background to another color, since it's just matter of settings. But this question hit me very deep. It is not just matter of color; everyone recognizes that mainframe screens, also known as "Green Screens" are not known for being user friendly.

The fact that the Green (or Black) Screens is not user friendly is because u can get used to them but they wont mould to make your work easier.
