Did you ever hear of the "pink effect"? Apparently when one views a
green text monitor for a long period of time and then viewing white
letters on a black background, these seem to have a pinkish hue.

I think I noticed the effect when switching from a "Canadian" Tandy
Model-IV to an IBM-PC with a paper white mono. I emphasized "Canadian"
because the early USA versions had white text displays not green.
