I like the color.  Mine is sans color, but a bit more involved:

userid at machine (time of day which is updated after return) current 
working directory relative to the home directory

User id is rev vid as well as the machine name.  The @ is normal vid  I 
like the dir with the relative part so when it's 'shl'  I know I'm in 
/home/esoteric/shl

Looks like this:

esoteric at denali (8:05:59) shl >

Can get a bit long though. :)

When I su to root, it's

root at denali (8:05:59) /home/esoteric/shl >

Now, it's not that long, but I've since removed the time of day part, 
since xdaliclock is so cool.  It's nice to know when you've su'ed to 
root and left it that way in an xterm.

It's ksh though, don't believe it will work in bash.  I do like your 
colors though.

Until later: Geoffrey		esoteric at 3times25.net

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
