1 Summary
═════════
For us old neck beards, who learned to write software on punch cards
and print out our code and output on wide line printers, it was
helpful to have alternating bands of subtle background coloring to
guide our eyes across the line on the page. Reading long rows of text
across a 14 7/8" page, it was very easy to loose your place vertically
while scanning the page horizontally. The subtle background shading
was often done with pale bands of green alternating with the white of
the paper.
