Because blinking is damn annoying.
If anyone is going to do anything like this, please use tput to get
terminal capabilities before doing it (not everyone uses the same
terminal, not all terminals have color, and not all terminals use the
same escape sequences).
Something like:
colors=`tput colors`
if [ `id -un` = root ]; then
if ((${colors:-0} > 7)); then
standout=`tput setaf 5`
else
standout=`tput bold`
fi
else
if ((${colors:-0} > 7)); then
standout=`tput setaf 6`
else
standout=""
fi
fi
if [ "$standout" != "" ]; then
normal=`tput sgr0`
if ((${colors:-0} > 7)); then
other=`tput setaf 2`
else
other="$normal"
fi
if [ "$normal" = "" ]; then
standout=""
other=""
else
standout="\[$standout\]"
other="\[$other\]"
normal="\[$normal\]"
fi
fi
PS1="${other}[${standout}\u@\h \W${other}]\$${normal} "
unset standout other normal

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
