Olympia - ColorTip ???
Does anyone know what Olympia was doing with their machines sub-labled as "ColorTip" ?
Was it just marketing hype to make something old & established sound a bit more new & improved ?
Or were/are there subtle changes to the ColortTip machines not seen in the other machines coming out of Olympia at the same time ?

Re: Olympia - ColorTip ???
I've come across SM3, SM5, SM7, SM8, and SM9 Colortip and Colortip-S branded variants. I assumed that these machines had something to do with the Colortip typing course that was created by Schreib GMBH, which was perhaps included with these models as part of a marketing exercise. I've haven't bothered to dig into this at all, so it's just speculation on my part.
The pronoun I has always been capitalized in the English language for more than 700 years.

Thanks, Uwe...
Wonder if they use some method of color-coding the key-tops as some of the touch-typing systems did
