My concern would be with those who purchased the B&W version of the
Megapixel display.  Will there be a colour Megapixel?  Will those of
us who have purchased B&W versions be able to upgrade easily?  For how
much?

The cost of the colour board doesn't conern me near as much as the cost
to replace or modify the display does.  Unless a colour NeXT will be a
2-headed monstor which I think would be a BIG mistake.
