I know a way!  If Apple would produce a "Color Plus" it would replace
the Plus in no time (I think).  It would have to be close to a Plus in
price and functionality, just a 512 x 342 x 24 color screen (72 dpi)
instead of the 512 x 342 black-and-white screen.  One thing I'm not
sure of is: is it technologically feasible to put a color crt of this
quality for this price in the case of Plus?

Now, am I right or am I right?
