I don't know... on the old monitors (60 Hz refresh rate, very low resolution) white on black is great, but on modern monitors it makes my eyes hurt, there I prefer it just the other way round, AutoCad being the only exception.
I had one of those EGA color/amber/green monitors too... definitely cool!
My first memories of computers date back to the 1980s when I was a fairly small kids (for comparison, I was born in 1985) at a big electronics store, amber screens and the screeching of dot matrix printers. My dad's first Apple PowerBook was another world back then with it's light yellow black and white screen and graphics.
