MACINTOSH

Summary:

When viewing the Genigraphics color clip art slides with Microsoft PowerPoint on a Macintosh SE/30 (or on a Macintosh II with a monochrome monitor), virtually every slide displays as solid black. On a Macintosh Plus or SE, however, the clip art displays as distinguishable images composed of areas of both black and white.

This difference is due to the fact that a Macintosh SE/30 contains instructions for Color QuickDraw in read-only memory (ROM) while the Macintosh Plus and SE do not.

More Information:

When you open a Genigraphics color clip art presentation on a Plus or SE, QuickDraw (not Color QuickDraw) maps light colors to white and dark colors to black. On a Macintosh with Color QuickDraw and a monochrome monitor, white is displayed as white and all other colors are displayed as black.
