VBRANDT@DBNUAMA1.BITNET (09/12/89)

In Info-Atari16 Digest #456, Marcelino Bernardo <MBERNAR%ERENJ.BITNET@
Forsythe.Stanford.EDU> asks:

>Recently I have read Ken Badertscher of Atari refer to TOS 1.4 as the
>"Rainbow" TOS.  I was just curious.  Why was the this name chosen?

This was based on the silly assumption that most ST users have a color monitor,
whereas it is just the other way around ... at least in this part of the world.
(Sorry Ken, couldn't resist that one :-)

If you have a color monitor and select the info entry from the Desktop, you'll
