With TOS 1.4, if you look under DESKTOP INFO, instead of the old black
fuji symbol we get with 1.0 and 1.2, you get a nifty rainbow colored
fuji, with the colors scrolling upwards.  It's pretty, but I think it
is unnecessary.  I think Ken might have gotten a little silly that day,
and decided to put in some pretty colors.   Right Ken?   :^)
