Is that “Speadsheet” in the top right of the first screen dump a bug or a typo by whoever made that screen?
Also: interesting choice for a 50% gray pattern, with those vertical lines instead of a checkerboard. Is that purely artistic, or does it hide hardware ugliness on some systems?
- bitwize 5y agoSince horizontal scanlines were visible in RGB CGA, it probably made a nice even grid on that display. It may have also made a solid color on composite CGA.
- Findecanor 5y agoI'm speculating that the purpose would have been to avoid getting straight lines on top of the background look jagged. Besides, it is also faster to render.
