  The question to balance is:  How many BW monitors have been sold vs.
how many color displays will sell?

   Upgrades would be nice: BW display for low-cost buy-in and then
move up to color. The BW monitor is quite superior to anything I've
seen to date. It'd be keen to have the cube handle multiple monitors
seamlessly.

   In addition, doesn't Display PostScript handle BW, greyscale,
and color ?
