Many years ago I was a third fiddle programmer on a new software package being developed. The OD had some weird monochromatic fixation so everything was some shade of green. Never being one to let my graphic design training from that high school class go to waste, I took it upon myself to fix the colors, patterning them on Windows 3.1 schemes. The head honcho understood where I was going with that, so we standardized my colors. Made a big mistake when I showed too many co-workers how to change, still having nightmares about pink/purple combos some of the fairer sex came up with. At some point, it occurred to me, that the colorblind might somehow be offended by the amount of time we were spending to appeal to multichromatic individuals, and we needed to focus on the basics of system design: to make as much money as we can. Rather than spend $150K on a study, you know what I did? I changed my display to black and white. Menu system was completely readable, but the weird, tucked in little corner fields were kind of hard to read. They were hard to read in color, too, I recollect... Did Trump jump the shark with the cripple thing: ? I'm frankly dissapointed, I was hoping one of the MSM goons would describe the NYT gimp as "handi-capable" :) Donald Trump Mocks Reporter with Disability at Event

Handi-capable describes many, many people with physical challenges, thanks.

I think this will come back to hurt Trump if he is the GOP nominee next year. That is how stupid this country has become. "Besides, I was anxious to take the wheel, the man in pink pyjamas showing himself a hopeless duffer at the business." - Marlow
Handi-capable is a term the Maoist reformers invented to shame the people still using the old-fashioned term 'handicapped'. Right up there with Afri-can-doers! "Besides, I was anxious to take the wheel, the man in pink pyjamas showing himself a hopeless duffer at the business." - Marlow
The stupid-valve was turned wide open in 1964.

When I was a young man in Chicago, I worked at this yarn store. I had a guy from the neighborhood help once when we had to move a bunch of yarn out of a warehouse. I held up a skein of green yarn and asked him, "What color is this?" He said it was "Grey." I told him it was green. He was color blind. ;) Consider the Colorblind

Eighteen years after I was born and the sucker's frozen open.

We'll need marches and picnic baskets to undo the damage. And funny hats.
