My first color terminal was a 3279 in the early 1980s. I think we had both a model 2 and model 3. I don't recall if they had the extended color feature. As far as I know the IBM 3279 was IBMs first color terminal.

For me it was "always" colorful, because I started with colorful CRT display. However it raises question: when the colours were introduced? I mean ISPF, but it can be any other application, like MVS console or z/VM XEDIT, whatever. Note: colourful applications may work fine with monochrome displays, so it is not the question "when you started using colorful CRT". Any clue? -- Radoslaw Skorupka (looking for new job) Lodz, Poland ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: This message originated outside your organization.
