The entropy of a rotating charged black hole is argued to be the logarithm of the number of quantum mechanically distinct ways in which the hole could have been produced, and the logarithm of the number of configurations that the hole's atmosphere could assume in the presence of its background noise of acceleration radiation. A space-time horizon evolution diagram is included, in which the horizon initially grows due to accretion, then shrinks due to evaporation, and then grows again. As a side product, a proof of the generalized second law of thermodynamics is obtained.
