Well, I've had my Mac II for just shy of a week now, and I like it
lots (will like it even more when my hard-disk arrives, I'm sure).
One thing puzzles me, though.  I'm almost willing to swear that I've
seen the Mac/keyboard/mouse icon in the "Welcome to Macintosh" startup
screen appear in color (several different colors, in fact)... and yet
when I boot the system nowadays it comes up in black and white.  Was I
hallucinating when I saw it in color (too much Diet Coke, perhaps?) or
does the icon appear in color under certain conditions?  If the
latter, what are those conditions?  Are any of the popular INITs (e.g.
Pyro!, Suitcase) capable of interfering with the color display?

I'm running a vanilla-hardware Mac II, 5 megs of memory, Apple video
card (256-color) and Apple 13" color monitor, and the System and
Finder from the System Tools disk that came with the machine).
