Mark, you are dead right in that people see things differently. However, the
greenies is when you take an ink swab with a paper towel, and it is VERY
green. I don't see the normal Piezo as green at all I see it as slightly
warm. Now MIS VM cool looks blue to me. So... The greenies aren't subtle
believe me!
