It was [4/1 was two weeks ago], but I'm not fooling. Amiga Inc was told to
make the colors of the "Command line interface" (aka CLI) white on blue by
Commoodore. When they asked why (I believe it was RJ Mical who asked) they
produced this report. I can see if one the original Amiga guys still has it
in their files but that was the stated reason.
