Respectfully, this, "what does color X mean on startup?" and a few
hundred other items in that vein SHOULD be in the technical
sections of the manuals that SHOULD come with every machine.
That the computer gives information (keyboard lights blinking,
screen colors, little musical notes on power-on, etc.) that
cannot be interpreted by the poor slug who bought the darned
thing because they are not documented is a real problem.
Sorry. Didn't mean to shout. Hope no one was offended. Perhaps
there should be a note included with the machine that says
something to the effect, "Lots of the technical questions you
will have are answered in the 'most asked questions' posting
in comp.sys.amiga/comp.sys.amiga.tech on usenet."
Oops. There I go again. I'm calm now. Actually, it's been
quite a while since I bought an Amiga, and I don't really know
what information is included with them. (Can you guess what
I think isn't included?)
