That's funny.  I just added a color monitor to the hi-res B&W one I already
had on my Sun 4.  The bit-depths are 8 and 1.  But a "real advantage for the
average novice user"?  Since when did the average novice user have a 2-screen
system?  The average Mac user has a Mac Plus!

I won't blow the company horn and claim that we're *succeeding* (not in
a Mac group where it could only start a flame fest), but I *know* Sun is
spending time and effort. :-)
