It's blinking black because he has seen other colors before, like red. When
it's blinking black, it obviously doesn't blink. It's erratic behaviour of
the screen.

I'd just put something like this in my .profile:

PS1='[\w]\n\[\033[01;32m\]\h\[\033[01;37m\]\$\[\033[00m\] '

since that *is* my PS1....
